He believes that players at the top level understand and plan accordingly to keep a balance between game time and rest. “A player has to get fresh to give peak performance. If a player plays back-to-back, he will get mentally tired,” Dhawan told India Today. “It is important to give rest mentally. If you see there is rotation in international cricket so that players get rest. If a player travels everywhere, he will get tired.”
