Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan was the player of the series in Asia Cup 2018. He was simply unstoppable at the top of the order. Barring the final, he scored in every other match that he played.

All the struggles and experience Dhawan had in England proved to be beneficial for him. He was playing the fast bowlers like Mohammed Amir, Hasan Ali, Mustafizur and others at ease.

From the first match itself, Dhawan was up to the mark, where he scored a brilliant 127 off 120 balls against Hong Kong. He got starts against Pakistan and Bangladesh in the next two matches but couldn't convert them.

In the super-four match against Pakistan, he scored his second century of the tournament. Chasing a 238 run target Dhawan made 114 runs off just 100 balls. He had a wonderful partnership of 210 runs with Rohit Sharma for the opening wicket.

Dhawan was the highest run-getter in the Asia Cup 2018 where he scored 342 runs at an average of 68.40 in 5 matches. His strike rate of 102.09 was the highest among the top ten run-getters in the series.
