The dashing opening graced the Indian Cricket team with a magnificent century on test debut against Australia in Mohali in 2013. He scored breezy 187 runs. Since then there was no looking back. His terrific performances in ICC events earned him the Golden Bat in ICC Champions Trophy.

The stylish left-handed batsman remained a vital cog in the Indian team as he has vast experience. Dhawan has represented India in all three formats of the game ( 34 Tests, 165 ODIs, 68 T20Is). He aggregates 10856 international career runs which include twenty-four centuries and fifty-five half-centuries. Other than this the southpaw has also played over two hundred IPL matches.

Apart from heroics on the cricket field, the flamboyant batsman maintains a top-notch game on social media too. His hilarious reels are testimony to his humour side. (ANI)
