Shikhar Dhawan talks about his favourite knock
Indian star opener Shikhar Dhawan on Saturday announced his retirement from international cricket, marking the end of a remarkable career. Dhawan has been a key figure in Indian cricket for over fourteen years, having contributed immensely with the bat.
Throughout his career, Dhawan played several memorable innings that left a lasting impact on the sport. Among his many incredible knocks, Dhawan’s 117 against Australia during the 2019 ODI World Cup has stood out as Dhawan belted that knock despite having a serious injury to his finger. His 187 against Australia on his Test debut is also particularly notable.
After his retirement, Dhawan picked out his favourite knock that came against Australia during the 2019 World Cup at the Oval.
"I have a few favourite innings that are close to my heart, especially the 2019 World Cup. We were playing a match against Australia. I was batting on 25 when I broke my thumb. The ball came at 150 clicks and hit my here (pointing towards his left thumb). I popped painkillers and scored 117 from there," Dhawan told Hindustan Times.
"The MCG one was also a very good knock of mine. More so because I wasn't scoring runs prior to it. I am thankful to Dhoni for backing me and persisting with me in the World Cup. I was always able to play well in ODIs, but the occasional dip in form is inevitable. That's when I scored those 137 runs. I like that one too," Dhawan stated.
