Top 4 run-scorers for India in ODIs in 2018

#3 Shikhar Dhawan - 897 runs (19 matches)

Shikhar Dhawan along with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli form one of the most lethal and successful trios in ODI cricket history.

Shikhar Dhawan has been a very consistent ODI opener in the last few years. He along with Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli form one of the most lethal and successful trios at the top of the order in ODI cricket history. India's top-3 batsmen's prolific run-scoring form has managed to overshadow the vulnerabilities in India's middle order in the last two years.

Keeping in mind about the World Cup next year, India would want their ODI opener Shikhar Dhawan to be in top form going into next year as he has been the standout performer for India in most of the multinational tournaments India played in the last five years.

Dhawan has played 19 ODI matches this year and scored 897 runs at an impressive average of 49.83 including three centuries and two fifties. His highest ODI score of 127 this year came against Hong Kong during the Asia Cup.
