ICC Champions Trophy 2017: 5 best performances from Indian players that don't fade away

#4 Shikhar Dhawan’s century against Sri Lanka

Dhawan scored a magnificent century in a losing cause

When the Indian squad for the tournament was announced, many argued why an in-form Gautam Gambhir was not picked. The opening pair of Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan put those questions to bed as they once again complemented each other beautifully to put on a century stand against Sri Lanka, albeit in a losing cause

It was a partnership of 138 runs between the prolific pair and once Sharma departed, Dhawan stole the show by wreaking havoc on the Sri Lankan bowlers. With the help of 15 fours and 1 six, the southpaw managed to score 125 runs off 128 deliveries. By the time he departed in the 45th over, India had put up a respectable total. This innings helped him become the highest run-getter in the tournament, earning him the Golden Bat.
