Sportskeeda Cricket Awards 2018: T20I Batsman of the Year

#1 Shikhar Dhawan - Sportskeeda's T20I Batsman of the Year

Shikhar Dhawan deserves the T20I batsman of the Year Award due to his combination of consistency and rapid scoring. Dhawan has been racking up solid performances for a long time around and has got the Indian team off to flier starts.

His attacking approach from the start of the innings has paid rich dividends for the team. Though India has quite a few stellar T20 batsmen such as the likes of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, Dhawan outclassed them all with his splendid stroke-play and aggressive intent.

In 2018, Dhawan scored 689 runs from just 17 innings at an average of 40.52 and a massive strike-rate of 147.22. He compiled six half-centuries to his name with a high-score of 92.
