Then after that inning, there was no looking back for him. Dhawan has been on a song with his overriding batting performances and being the owner of batting records in 2013 is a great feat for the 27-year-old.
He got the Golden Bat award and was man of the series in the victorious ICC Champions Trophy 2013 after scoring highest runs in the tournament with two centuries (114 vs South Africa and 102* vs West Indies) and one fifty, 68 vs Sri Lanka.
In 2013, Shikhar Dhawan scored 248 runs in an ODI match for India 'A' against South Africa 'A', the second highest List A score, behind Surrey batsman Ali Brown's 268 against Glamorgan at The Oval in 2002.
