amits Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 hit 52* off 41 balls and looks to be a great player. he is a better batsman than the rohit sharmas & uthappas we have in the team. dhawan avges 40.52 in fc matches & 46.92 in list-a which r great stats. and dhawan was the highest run-getter in the u-19 wc 2004 scoring 505 runs@84.16 & sr 93.51 & also was the highest run-getter in the 2006 eurasia cup scoring 271 runs@90.33 & sr 92.49. players who had worser avges than dhawan have got chances but dhawan hasnt got a chance due to the anti-delhi ness of indian selectors. dhawan was also in smashing form in both the fc & domestic odis this season even scoring 395 runs@56.42 & sr 103.67 shikhar dhawan is 1 of the domestic players to watch out in the ipl & has already went for more than what ponting went in the ipl getting $205000 & i hope shikhar dhawan gets his chance in the odis this year and in batting, dhawan even hit a 4 off the 1st ball he faced from shane warne & he has a good technique when he hooks & pulls. dhawan, hooks from above his eye-level, but plays the hook shot in such a way that the ball remains grounded & can play short-pitched bowling really well. also, dhawan plays the pull shot wel
Cricketics Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 he will be there playing for INdia in 2011 wc...
msb1991 Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I think he needs more than one good knock in the IPL to prove himself against quality opposition - but he does look like a good batsman.
amits Posted April 20, 2008 Author Posted April 20, 2008 I think he needs more than one good knock in the IPL to prove himself against quality opposition - but he does look like a good batsman. dont worry there. dhawan will hit 5-6 more good knocks
sreej Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I've been waiting for this guy to get into the Indian team since he played in the U-19 world cup a few years ago. He's been pretty consistent in domestic cricket and I hope he gets chance after the IPL.
Zakhmi Posted April 20, 2008 Posted April 20, 2008 I think he needs more than one good knock in the IPL to prove himself against quality opposition - but he does look like a good batsman. definitely, he will hit a lot. I have seen his game when he was playing in the inaugural tournament at the new stadium in UAE ( Shaiykh Zayed Stadium ), two years back or so. Shikar has lots of potential in him and possess skillful game.

flamy Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 AND he has a badass tattoo!! Do the selectors need any more reason???
Zakhmi Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 AND he has a badass tattoo!! Do the selectors need any more reason??? at this advent of IPL, many youngsters will prove their mettle...I hope many many youngsters will get chance after this tourney to play for the country.
Holysmoke Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 he is a better batsman than the rohit sharma :giggle:
monkeyfood Posted April 22, 2008 Posted April 22, 2008 dhawan is playing good so far just a couple good knocks he needs.
amits Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 dhawan made another 25* today. he looked comfortable again spin & even hit warne for a 4 in the 1st match. even players like yuvraj struggled against warne. also, gave excellent support to sehwag who was exploding at the other end. also, dhawan has yet to be dismissed in the ipl
amits Posted April 23, 2008 Author Posted April 23, 2008 :giggle: whats there to laugh in that. look at dhawan & rohit sharmas domestic records and u will get to know what i said. dhawan was doing well in ranji whereas rohit sharma struggled
flamy Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 ^^^ Sehwag struggled in domestic :-D Just saw the highlights. That tattoo is niiiiice. Plus, he can hold his own in interviews. No pressure, he belongs in the BIG stage. I'm so effin excited with Young India :yay:
Ram Posted April 23, 2008 Posted April 23, 2008 He definitely looks international material. We shouldnt forget that IPL is a big leap in the level of quality for the domestic Indian players. Not many of 'em would have been accustomed such extreme levels of professionalism, quality and discipline. With the gap being so big between FC cricket and IPL, only a few make the transition easily and look as though they belong. Dhawan, along with guys like Ravi Jadeja and Gony give the impression that they have that quality.
amits Posted April 30, 2008 Author Posted April 30, 2008 and now another 32-ball 50 with 3 huge 6s from dhawan making him only the 2nd indian player(after gambhir) to hit 2 50+ scores in ipl. GET HIM INTO THE INDIAN TEAM IMMEDIATELY dhawan is better than some of the youngsters we have in the indian team. he was the highest scorer in the u-19 wc in 2004 & the eurasia cup in 2006
Temujin Khaghan Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 better than rohit! huh. slow down brother. All these players are still young. lets give them time and see how they mature. Kambli was superb in his youth. Sanath was nothing, he reinvented himself.
fineleg Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 I've always liked Shikhar Dhawan, however lets not jump the gun by declaring he is better than Rohit Sharma et al. All these yengsters have potential, whether they can translate the potential to prolonged success... - as Arun 'hehehe' Lal will say - Time will tell.
f.b.m Posted April 30, 2008 Posted April 30, 2008 "GET HIM INTO THE INDIAN TEAM IMMEDIATELY" Going by ICF's recommendations, BCCI will need to hire Noah's Ark to transport our touring squad.
