The legendary cricketer began his cricket journey with domestic cricket. He made his ODI debut in 2010 when he played for India against Australia. The one thing that made him stand out from the others was his performance in the Red Ball Cricket.
ඉන්දියානු ක්රිකට් වංශ කතාවේ වැඩිම අසාධාරණයකට ලක් වෙච්ච් ක්රීඩකයා 🏏💗 ඉන්දියාවෙන් බිහිවෙච්ච නිහතමානී සුන්දර ක්රීඩකයෙක් 😍💗
Happy Retirement Shikhar Dhawan 💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗💗#ShikharDhawan pic.twitter.com/d4ZlBNOFiy— Suren Perera (@surenmadineshs) August 24, 2024
Shubman Gill can score runs at average of 100 in ODIs but he can never become a match winner like Shikhar Dhawan.
Just like Babar, Gill also scores runs on Flat Pitches & vs C teams and maintain high avg.
Dhawan used to score runs when it mattered the most in ICC tournaments. pic.twitter.com/kyHokWYdeb
