England v India - 3rd ODI: Royal London One-Day Series
The left-hander has been in incredible form in the tournament

As a south-paw, Dhawan would be in a better position to effectively tackle the angle of left-arm fast bowler Mustafizur Rahman. He is bound to spray a few balls on the leg stump to the left-handed batsman, which Dhawan should be prepared to capitalize on.

#5 Opening batsmen aiming to bat deep

Both the openers should capitalize on their terrific form to bat deep into the Indian innings. It is vital for them to shield the out-of-form Indian middle-order from early exposure to the potent Bangladesh bowling attack, irrespective of whether India end up batting first or second.

#6 Usage of the DRS by the openers, if necessary

The openers are the men in form for India's batting order. When in doubt, they are entitled to make use of the review. The duo is precious to the team ‘s batting cause and should challenge any nebulous umpiring decision without a second thought, so as to give their team the best chance of reaching a monumental total/chasing a stiff target.
