#4 Shikhar Dhawan
Shikhar Dhawan emerged as one of India’s swashbuckling batters in the white-ball formats. The southpaw was equally brilliant with the bat in the red-ball format. The Delhi batter announced his arrival in style by scoring 187 against Australia on his Test debut. He converted his tons into daddy hundreds whenever he found himself going, including 173 and 190 against Bangladesh and Sri Lanka. The opening batter, however, wasn’t a regular in the Test side owing to inconsistency with the bat. He smashed his last century against Afghanistan in a one-off Test in 2018. Overall, Dhawan managed just 34 Tests, scoring 2,315 runs at an average of 40.61 with the help of seven tons.
