IPL 2018: 5 players SRH would like to retain

#4 Shikhar Dhawan

The left-handed batsman from Delhi is David Warner's partner in crime. He plays a perfect foil to Warner's aggression and helps steady the Sunrisers batting lineup. Dhawan's role is to play the anchor, and let the batsmen at other end play aggressively. With Yuvraj Singh and Moises Henriques in the middle order, Dhawan's role is an important one for Sunrisers Hyderabad.

He has been consistent over the last 4 Indian Premier League season for SRH scoring 300+ runs in each of the four seasons. A stylish left-hander with the ability to read the game and play accordingly. He is good against spin and has every shot in the book to be a perfect Twenty20 player.

Shikhar Dhawan's last 4 IPL stats:

2017 - 479 runs

2016 - 501 runs

2015 - 353 runs

2014 - 377 runs
