Nidahas Trophy, Sri Lanka vs India 1st T20I: 5 talking points from first match

#2 Shikhar Dhawan's imperious form continues

After having dominated the South African bowling attack in their own backyard, Shikhar Dhawan continued his rich vein of form as he scored 90 in 49 balls which included six boundaries and six sixes.

After having lost two partners in Rohit Sharma and Suresh Raina, Dhawan took some time to get his eye in and then slowly got into his groove as he pressed on the accelerator.

He was dismissed by Danushka Gunathilaka as he mistimed a wide ball to long off and headed off to the dressing room for a 90-run innings which allowed the visitors to reach a competitive total of 174 runs in their 20 overs.
