#3 Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan is a gem of a player when it comes to batting against the white ball. He is an asset for any captain in the team to have him at the top of the order.

His improved records and consistency are gradually helping him to be counted as one of the finest ODI batsmen of the current lot. His love affair with the multi-nation tournaments and the ability to stay calm even under pressure is a hallmark of a batsman of his class.
Dhawan, also known as the 'Gabbar' in the Indian team has become an indispensable part of India's ODI setup. His opening pair with Rohit Sharma at the top of the order brings in success more often than not.
The left-hander's knack of scoring big runs in the best interests of the team does help his confidence ahead of any big game. Currently, Dhawan is the third Indian after Kohli and Rohit in the top 5 of the ICC ODI rankings for batsmen.
