Lokesh Rahul has come into his own in the shortest format of the game and has been enjoying a rather fruitful run in the format ever since he got into the squad. While he was a mere spectator to Rohit Sharma's outrageous antics at the other end for most part of the innings, the opener played some fabulous, eye-catching shots.

His conversion issue from ODIs persists in T20s too, though, as he ended up on 89, eleven short of a well deserved hundred. He now has an average of 56.75 at the end of the knock at Indore. With him and Rohit Sharma bombarding the Lankans to all corners it remains to be seen how Dhawan fits in once he returns.
