He looks different and plays
differently too…………….with mush up, he presents a raw picture ~ but plays
refined shots and at times arrogant shots, hitting the ball all over the park. He made his T20I debut against West Indies in
June 2011 tour at Queen's Park Oval, under captaincy of Suresh Raina and opened
along with wicket-keeper Parthiv Patel in which he scored 5 of 11 deliveries
faced before being caught behind to keeper Andre Fletcher off captain Darren
Sammy.
Can you imagine who this prodigious talent is ????
Easy one…. before
that have you heard of AD Brown who is only one standing above him in First
class limited overs cricket…. Nicknamed Lordy in an allusion to Ted Dexter,
Brown never reached the real heights….
It is Shikhar Dhawan – the scorecard of the match played at LC de
Villiers Oval, Pretoria made a great reading- Murali Vijay 40 off 37;
Cheteshwar Pujara 109 off 97 balls and in between Shikhar Dhawan 248 [yes Two
hundred Forty Eight] in just 150 balls with 30 boundaries and 7 over it. India
AD Brown played 16 One day internationals for England
Months before against the visiting Australians at Mohali in Mar
2013, he had a long opening partnership with Murali Vijay and made a grand
century in his Test debut. By this time, he got out close – just 13 short of a
double, he had made a great imprint.
Today at Sawai Mansingh Stadium – Aussies have set
a daunting target of 360 and it appears it would be insurmountable….
Shikhar Dhawan demonstrated his class and form
with an attacking 95 off 86 balls studded with 14 boundaries – and unfortunately got out when just 5 short ……
At 07.45 pm now….. Indians are still with a change
196-1 – Rohit on 69 and Kohli on 15 – 164 more to get @ 8 per over and this
over just ended with a six by Kohli off Doherty. India
Will India
