#1 Shikhar Dhawan covers up for Rohit Sharma yet again

Shikhar Dhawan slammed his sixth half-century in T20Is, just two days after he had hit his fifth, to help India ace a fairly low target. The Sunrisers Hyderabad opener was yet again in marauding form and covered up for Rohit Sharma's slip up once again.
The Hitman has been in woeful touch of late and was the first of the two openers to dismissed in 9 out of the last 10 limited-overs games since the beginning of the South African tour.
Yet again, Rohit failed to make it big as he inside-edged a Mustafizur Rahman delivery onto the stumps but thankfully Dhawan had his back. The southpaw slammed a superb half-century to take India home after it appeared like they were stuck in a rut following Pant's dismissal.
