A heartbreak for Shikhar Dhawan – he's dismissed for 97 in 99 balls, missed out from what could've been his 18th century in ODI cricket. What a knock by Dhawan, he's been an amazing contributor for India in ODIs. pic.twitter.com/0pOJfEDBWS

In the era of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma, we kinda forgot the contribution of Shikhar Dhawan in the ODIs

Shikhar Dhawan's 3 year century drought continues. His 17th century came against Australia in the 2019 World Cup. After that he scored 96 vs Australia, 98 vs England, 86* vs Sri Lanka and now 97 vs West Indies.#WIvIND
