4th Momentum ODI: South Africa v India

Playing Role - Opener

Shikhar Dhawan is by far the most explosive left-handed opener to play for India. Dhawan packs a punch with his attacking stroke play, getting the team off to some fliers. Once settled, the southpaw has the ability to score some big hundreds. He is a big tournament player and has won crucial games in major ICC events. 'Gabbar' is equally adept against pace and spin and can plunder the best of bowling attacks when on song.

Shikhar is one of India’s best outfielders and patrols the boundary well. He has a powerful arm and hurls some rocket-like throws from the deep. Dhawan has combined well with Rohit Sharma to form a stable opening pair for India in ODIs.

Shikhar Dhawan ODI Record
