Shikhar Dhawan continued his fine run of form from the recently-concluded ODI series to put India on the front foot as he smashed 72 off just 39 balls at the Wanderers.

Put in to bat by JP Duminy, Dhawan's blitz provided the platform for India to post their highest-ever total in Johannesburg.

Despite the regular fall of wickets on the other end, the Delhi batsman did not flinch as raced to fifty off 27 balls, his fourth in T20Is, with the help of two sixes and six boundaries.

The Indian opener added a valuable 47-run fourth-wicket stand with Manish Pandey before eventually falling in the 15th over to Andile Phehlukwayo, as India went on to post a handsome total of 203/5 from their 20 overs.
