Shikhar Dhawan retires: From Mohali hurricane to India's ICC hero, Gabbar's greatest knocks

Hindustan Times  

Shikhar Dhawan's India debut in 2010 wasn't exactly a fairytale. 187 vs Australia, Mohali 2013 As many as 17 Indian batters have scored a century on Test debut, but Dhawan's achievement warrants a place of its own. With Australia putting a strong 408 in the first innings, India's reply was spearheaded by Dhawan in a breathtaking knock of the ages. It was the first time Dhawan and Rohit opened the innings for India and took baby-steps towards becoming one of the most-feared opening pairs in ODIs. Dhawan's flamboyance set the stage for Ajinkya Rahane's classy century and MS Dhoni's counter-attacking fifty that saved India the blushes despite New Zealand pummelling 680 in the second innings, featuring Brendon McCullum's triple century.
