Reminds me of this series from Dhawan U-19 2003/04. Look at who is at no.2 http://www.cricketarchive.com/Archive/Events/3/ICC_Under-19_World_Cup_2003-04/Batting_by_Runs.html

^ Apart from Brad Wilson (NZ), T Maraj (WI) all the other top batsmen have gone on to represent their country (or even two). You have Morgan and K O'Brien there too!

Very impressive :hatsoff: Looking forward to see how our bowlers match up against him

In the world T20 final 2007 all attention was on Yuvraj from Pakistanis. They even had success against him. But Gambhir had other ideas. Similar thing could happen.

Of course he deserves the backing of the selectors given his dominating performances. I was just pointing out that the first few matches are not necessarily the correct gauge of long term potential of players. There were a few who went on to have long careers like Azhar and Ganguly and others who fell by the wayside like Kambli.

Agree.

Did a bit of statsguru search, apparently Dhawan isn't the 1st one. A certain Rohit Sharma hit 114 vs SL on 28th May 2010 and a day later, hit 101* vs Zim!

Rohit :two_thumbs_up:
