If Angelo Mathews thought that winning the toss and putting India bat under overcast conditions was a good decision, then Shikhar Dhawan made sure that he’ll regret it.
Virat Kohli and Yuvraj Singh couldn’t replicate their form against Pakistan, but Shikhar Dhawan followed up his 68 with a solid 125-run innings against Sri Lanka in India’s 2nd Champions Trophy match, providing the momentum along with Rohit Sharma (78) as the opening pair succeeded yet again.
With two stellar innings, it seems that Dhawan has justified his selection, and ‘Gabbar’ is firing on all cylinders. Here are the best tweets as Indian cricket fans celebrated his 10th ODI ton.
