#5 100(102) vs Australia, Nagpur, 2013
India had to chase 351 in 50 overs against Australia in order to take the seven-match ODI series to a decider. Dhawan and opening partner Rohit Sharma put on 174 to keep India abreast of the needed run-rate. The left-hander then switched gears to get to his fourth ODI 100 before being dismissed on the very next delivery. Other Indian batsmen ensured that Dhawan's century didn't go wasted as India pulled off their second highest chase.
Here’s wishing Gabbar a happy birthday, and a speedy recovery, both from loss of form and thumb injury.
