The year 2013 was a great year for Shikhar Dhawan in terms of the number of runs scored in the shorter formats. However, much to his disappointment, he could not continue his form in 2014. He failed miserably against England in the Test series where his highest score was 37 in 6 innings, and then he only managed to score a single 50+ score in the Test series in Australia.
But despite all odds, he started 2015 ICC World Cup in tremendous fashion as he scored skilful 72 against Pakistan and a match-defining 137 at MCG against South Africa. He then scored a quickfire 100 against Ireland. In the semifinal, he scored 30 runs and helped India get a good start, but that wasn't meant to be India's day as the middle order collapsed without putting up any fight.
He missed out on a few opportunities against the likes of UAE, Zimbabwe and others, but still managed to score 412 runs in that tournament. He was the highest run-getter for India in the tournament.
