Former captain Sunil Gavaskar feels the reason behind India opener Shikhar Dhawan's slump in form is his slow footwork.

Dhawan, who plays for IPL team Sunrisers Hyderabad, has scored just 16 runs in the three matches he has played so far in the tournament.

Gavaskar said Dhawan will be under pressure to perform. "He is constantly under pressure to perform. The problem is when Dhawan fails, he fails in 4-5 matches and people forget the runs that he has scored. He has 9 centuries and around 17 scores of over 50 in limited overs cricket,".

"He has been successful in every three and half innings, which is very acceptable. But when he fails, he fails in 4-5 innings. What I saw in the IPL, I found his feet are moving a bit slow. I would suggest he does a fair bit of skipping and it would certainly help."
