5 Vital players for India during the Limited Overs Series against England

#3 Shikhar Dhawan

There is some special love affair between Shikhar Dhawan and England as he has made sure he exploited the conditions there to the fullest every time he visited that nation.

We all remember his exceptional performances in the 2013 and 2017 Champion Trophies, and it was his performance in the latter that began his tremendous streak with the bat.

Be it Test, ODI or T20 cricket Dhawan has scored runs both for India and Sunrisers Hyderabad, in the last 12 months.

With Rohit Sharma struggling with form ever since the start of this year, there will be a lot of extra pressure and responsibility on Shikhar Dhawan to give blazing starts to the team.

In the recent past, matches in England have usually been high scoring contests, and the opening batsmen play a very big role in laying the foundations of such innings. Shikhar is familiar with the conditions there, and will be looking to repeat his majestic performance again.
