TOP PERFORMER OF THE ICC 2013

Shikhar Dhawan
Since his debut against Australia in the Mohali Test, Shikhar Dhawan is enjoying a superb batting form plundering bowlers for plenty of runs. The southpaw, sporting a moustache, continued with his exploits in the recently concluded ICC Champions Trophy where his contribution at the top laid the foundation for Team India’s dominating performance in England. 

In five games, Dhawan, with the help of two centuries, collected 363 runs. He began the campaign by slamming a ton against South Africa ending with 114 runs against his name. In the next game against West Indies, his unbeaten century assured India a place in the semis. In the much-anticipated final league match against Pakistan, Dhawan scored crucial 48 runs that helped India chase down the target with 17 balls to spare. In the semis, he struck a half-century scoring 68 runs which turned out to be the highest in the match that India won comfortably.

In the grand finale, Dhawan played yet another crucial knock in a match that was reduced to 20- overs-a-side following numerous interruptions by rain. It was no surprise that the opener was adjudged as the man of the tournament.
