Unfortunate Shikhar Dhawan falls short of first ton since 2019 World Cup but does enough to silence critics

Unfortunate Shikhar Dhawan falls short of first ton since 2019 World Cup but does enough to silence critics Dhawan shrugged off the pressure in style as he notched up a well-constructed knock of 98 runs, painfully falling two runs short of his18th ODI century on Tuesday at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. But the left-handed shrugged off the pressure in style as he notched up a well-constructed knock of 98 runs, painfully falling two runs short of his18th ODI century on Tuesday at Maharashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Pune. Dhawan took off patiently against the English pace attack, cautiously combining with Rohit as the pair scored 64 off 91 balls and then later accelerated India's innings through the third powerplay with a couple of boundaries while managing a 105-run stand alongside captain Kohli, who also scored his 61st ODI half-century. He eventually departed executing a well-timed pull short off Ben Stokes, which was taken by Eoin Morgan at midwicket, hence missing out on his 18th ton in the format and first since the 2019 World Cup, where he had scored against Australia before being ruled out of the tournament with a thumb injury.
