India's Shikhar Dhawan problem is proving hard to solve

Firstpost  

It looked like India had found a swashbuckling, free-hitting opener who could set-up and win games in foreign conditions in Shikhar Dhawan. It looked like India had found a swashbuckling, free-hitting opener who could set-up and win games in foreign conditions. Leaving out the tour of Zimbabwe in 2013, Dhawan has scored just 386 runs at an average of 24.12 from 17 ODI innings in the West Indies, South Africa, New Zealand, England and Australia, He has managed only two half-centuries against those teams, the one in Birmingham and against West Indies at Port of Spain in July 2013. “Sometimes when you are not scoring runs, the best thing to do is just go out and express yourself,” Dhoni said after Dhawan scored one in India’s nine-wicket loss to England in Brisbane.
