Shikhar Dhawan is described in the public record as Indian cricketer. Born in Delhi, India, in 1985.
Shikhar Dhawan (born 5 December 1985) is an Indian former cricketer who played as an opening batter. He was a regular member of the Indian team in limited-overs formats for over a decade and represented Delhi in domestic cricket. He was leading run scorer and also named as the Player of the Tournament in the 2013 ICC Champions Trophy and even he was leading run-scorer by an Indian at the 2015 World Cup. Across ICC World Cups and Champions Trophies, he averaged 65.15, the highest among players with over 1000 runs. Dhawan made his One Day International (ODI) debut against Australia in October 2010 at Visakhapatnam. His Test debut came against the same opposition in March 2013 at Mohali, where he scored the fastest century by any batsman on Test debut (85 balls) and ended his innings with 187 runs from 174 balls. This is also the highest score by an Indian on a Test debut.
Shikhar Dhawan is recorded among the figures by whom cricket is remembered, and the surviving account of that career is the basis on which the reputation rests.
Cricket is played in formats lasting from three hours to five days, and a career average across them remains the sport's most argued-over number.
