India v Ireland - 2015 ICC Cricket World Cup
Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan has been a quality opener for India in one day cricket. Dhawan has forged a formidable opening partnership with Rohit Sharma and given India the stability at the top of the order. The left hander plays the role of an aggressor up the order by taking on bowling attacks in the power plays. 'Gabbar' has been quite consistent with his run scoring spree in the shorter format and hardly fails with the willow.

Shikhar has shown his batting exploits on the pacy and bouncy pitches in England where he emerged as the leading run scorer in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy. Post Gautam Gambhir’s retirement, Dhawan has been the most dependable left-handed opening batsman for India in limited-overs cricket.
