Fantastic Innings by Shikhar Dhawan

It would be a crime to pick over him for CWC

KL Rahul will bat at No.5 as wicket keeper, it's race between Gill & Dhawan for opening slot

 

[TheAndroidFreak]

How much runs Dhawan scored till now?

 

[TheAndroidFreak]

Just miss... May be the only candidate in T20 history with 99 notout?

Hales?

I’ll go with Dhawan.
*There’s no left-handers in top 6 (no Pant, Jadeja at 7/8).
*Dhawan’s ICC records are excellent, comparable only with previous (all-time) best leftie opener in ODIs for India.

This is the last 9 inng. Of Rinku singh and this consistemt performance is not fluke. Its complete combination of Talent , hard work, dedication and Down to Earth .
48(21) vs GT
46(33) vs RCB
4(4) vs PBK
40(15)vs LSG
5(6) vs SRH
23(19) vs MI
42(23) vs RR
23(16) vs DC
35(28) vs LSG

One fluke innings doesn't mean anything.

He almost pulled out a miracle (and bring KKR to playoffs) last year by hitting Stoinis for 18 in first 4 balls of last over but fell to Lewis’ catch of the tournament, KKR fell short by agonising 2 runs.
