South Africa vs India 2018, 1st T20I: Hits and Misses

#1 Hit: Shikhar Dhawan

Dhawan looked at ease throughout his innings at the Wanderers

The Indian opener has been in immense touch on this tour since swapping the whites for the blue jersey. He played some splendid knocks in the ODI series and seems to have carried that form right into the T20 series.

Dhawan looked at ease throughout his innings at the Wanderers. He peppered the Proteas bowling attack to score 72 runs off just 39 deliveries and did so with efficiency. The left-handed batsman looked so comfortable that he would be disappointed not to reach the three-figure mark.

The Delhiite went down on one knee and hit Dala for a lofted on-drive in the 14th over, which most definitely was the shot of the day. That, in itself, says a lot considering the amount and quality of boundaries the Men in Blue hit on the day.

Dhawan contributed in the field as well, seizing two catches to cap a perfect overall performance for himself on the field.
