India v Sri Lanka - ICC Champions Trophy

Since becoming a regular member of the Indian team, Shikhar Dhawan has been prolific

Shikhar Dhawan indeed could be ‘the one’ to challenge Kohli’s supremacy when it comes to ODI batting stats. He got to 2000 and 3000 runs faster than Kohli and was just behind him in getting to 4000. In terms of hundreds also, he is reaching the landmarks faster than Kohli, as of now.

While Amla relies on timing and wrist work to find gaps and keeps accumulating runs, Dhawan, like Kohli, usually dominates attacks when he gets going. Ruthless through the off-side, Dhawan’s only drawback has been his vulnerability, at times, to the short balls. Otherwise, he has shown the ability to score big runs all around the world, especially in ICC tournaments.

If he could show the same determination to turn fifties into hundreds, Shikhar could go on the same record breaking spree that Kohli and Amla have been on so far.
