South Africa vs India 2018: 1st T20I, 5 things we learnt from the match

#3 If Rohit doesn't get you, Dhawan most likely will

Dhawan carried on from where he left off in the ODIs

Dhawan had created quite a stir in the ODIs and continued in the same vein of form here at the Wanderers as well, as he dug into some listless bowling. Aided by a flat pitch, the high altitude at the ground and the short boundaries, he raced to a half-century in no time. Dhawan's T20I career strike rate stands at 118.30, but today he batted at more than 180- a sign of his immense confidence.

Dhawan hit no boundaries until the fourth over, when he got going with a spectacular pick up shot off Dala. A couple of edges off Chris Morris went to the fence and that was all the luck that the Delhiite needed, as he blazed away into the seventies before Andile Phehlukwayo deceived him with a slower ball.
