India's new opening batsman Shikhar
Dhawan on Monday gave yet another exhibition of stunning stroke play by
smashing a blistering 248 off 150 balls against South Africa 'A' here but he
missed out on a world record feat by just 20 runs.He smashed four sixes and 24
boundaries to register his double century in just 132 deliveries. The Indian
batsman dominated a 91-run opening stand with Murali Vijay and score up his
fifty in
just 31 balls. If Dhawan’s first 100 came off only 86 balls, the second hundred came off only 46 balls as he raced to his first List A double hundred in only 132 balls with a push off left-arm seamer Beuran Hendricks’ bowling. During his rampaging knock, the stylish left-hander surpassed two of his illustrious senior teammates Sachin Tendulkar and Virender Sehwag, who had scored double centuries in one-day internationals which also qualify as List A games. On personal best of 220, Dhawan created a national record by surpassing Sehwag’s best of 219 in an one-day against West Indies at Indore back in 2011. Shikhar Dhawan made a memorable Test debut against Australia earlier this year with a brilliant 187 and has not looked back since then as he became the best batsman in India’s victorious Champions Trophy campaign recently. His effort came in a must-win match for India A, who managed to score 433 runs in 50 overs, in order to qualify for the tournament final against Australia ‘A’.
