Shikhar Dhawan is in red-hot form this year and has scored 341 runs in eight T20Is at a strike rate of 148.90.

Shikhar Dhawan first came to attention when he scored 505 runs with three hundreds in the 2004 U-19 World Cup.

A natural stroke-player, Dhawan is strong on the off-side with his cuts and drives and has the gift of picking the line of the ball early.

The left-hand opening batsman played for the Delhi Daredevils in IPL 2008 and scored 340 runs in 14 matches at an average of 37.77.

After being picked by Sunrisers Dhawan has consistently scored at the top order for them. In IPL 2017, he scored 479 runs in 14 matches thereby giving the team the solid foundation.

Dhawan will be keen to wear Orange Cap this year and will be one of the top contenders for the cap.
