Shikhar Dhawan: Team India's explosive opener Shikhar Dhawan has been away from international cricket for a long time. The left-handed batsman played his last international cricket in the year 2022. Since then, Dhawan has been looking for ways to return to the team.
However, the team management will hardly give him a chance again. Let us once again look at the scorecard of the best ODI innings of this 38-year-old cricketer. Exactly 11 years ago, while playing for India-A, he scored 248 runs against South Africa-A.
Shikhar Dhawan created uproar
On August 12, 2013, a match was played between India-A and South Africa-A. If we talk about this match, then Team India decided to bat first after winning the toss. The opening batsman of this team, Shikhar Dhawan, who came to bat first, wreaked havoc with the bat.
The left-handed batsman faced 150 balls and scored 248 runs. He hit 30 fours and 7 sixes in his innings. During this, Dhawan's strike rate was 165.33. The 38-year-old batsman not only beat every bowler of the opposition team but also played attractive shots all around the field.
Team India had registered a great victory
India-A team had put up a mammoth score of 433 runs for the loss of 3 wickets in 50 overs against South Africa-A. Apart from Shikhar Dhawan, Cheteshwar Pujara also made a very important contribution by scoring 109 runs in 97 balls.
In response, the South African team that came to chase the target was all out after scoring 394 runs in 48.4 overs. Fast bowler Ishwar Pandey took 4 wickets while Jaydev Unadkat took two wickets. This is the reason why the opposing team could not even play its full overs. Reeza Hendricks and Von Jaarsveld scored centuries for South Africa.
This is what the career of this player has been like
Shikhar Dhawan, who made his international debut for Team India in 2010, represented his country in 34 Tests, 167 ODIs and 68 T20s. He has 2315 runs in Tests, 6793 runs in ODIs and 1759 runs in T20s.
The BCCI is unlikely to bring this legendary cricketer back to the team again.
