Top 10 opening batsmen in ODIs at the moment

#7 Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan deserves more than what he is getting from the fans

Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan might get a lot of stick from the fans for his performances but the Delhi batsman deserves better as he is one of the most underrated openers in the world. He does his job perfectly for the Men in Blue, getting the team off to flying starts and allowing his opening partner Rohit Sharma to take his time. However, he often ends up getting out cheaply in the process.

The dashing southpaw is a big match player and he has been India's best batsman, yes, better than Virat Kohli, in all the ICC ODI tournaments in the last 4-5 years.

He has averaged 43.32 and scored his 1733 runs at a strike-rate of 95 with the help of five tons and ten fifties in 41 innings. The Men in Blue will hope that Dhawan continues to do his good work so that they can win back the World Cup in 2019.
