Shikhar Dhawan has turned tables around in the Indian team and how. Just recently, he was struggling to get runs in England, which also saw him getting dropped from the team.
Shikhar Dhawan has turned tables around in the Indian team and how. Just recently, he was struggling to get runs in England, which also saw him getting dropped from the team.
Currently, Dhawan is the top-scorer of the ongoing Asia Cup 2018 in the UAE with 213 runs in three innings at a superb average of 71.
However, during India’s Super Four clash against Bangladesh, Dhawan saw himself getting inducted into an elite club that also had the likes of Sachin Tendulkar, VVS Laxman and Rahul Dravid among a few more Indian cricketers.
On Friday, Dhawan claimed four catches - Nazmul Hossain Shanto, Shakib Al Hasan, Mehidy Hasan and Mustafizur Rahman to become the seventh Indian, discounting wicketkeepers, to take four catches in ODI innings.
The other Indians who claimed four catches in an ODI innings were stalwarts like Sunil Gavaskar (vs Pakistan in Sharjah, 1985), Mohammad Azharuddin (vs Pakistan in Toronto, 1997), Sachin Tendulkar (vs Pakistan in Dhaka, 1998), Dravid (vs West Indies in Toronto, 1999), Mohammed Kaif (vs Sri Lanka in Johannesburg, 2003) and VVS Laxman (vs Zimbabwe in Perth, 2004).
However, the overall international record belongs to South Africa's Jonty Rhodes, who took 5 catches in ODI innings against the West Indies in Mumbai in 1993.
India so far have played three matches this Asia Cup 2018 and are yet to lose a game. After a close encounter against Hong Kong, the Indians hardly kept a foot wrong against the likes of Pakistan and Bangladesh.
India are all set to lock horns against arch-rivals Pakistan for the second time in the ongoing Asia Cup 2018 and the match will be played in Dubai on Sunday.
