Shikhar Dhawan doesn’t always hit centuries, but when he does, he does it in style.
In yet another impressive display, Shikhar Dhawan led India’s charge against Sri Lanka in the first test with a wonderfully constructed century that reminded us of his devastating charm.
It was Dhawan’s fourth overall Test ton and his second consecutive one following his memorable 173 against Bangladesh a couple of months ago.
Here are five reasons why we love Shikhar ‘Gabbar’ Dhawan.
1. His moustache

He’s brought the moustache back in fashion and he’s done it in style.
2. His smile

He’s the exact opposite of Virat Kohli in terms of his mood and temperament. Even in the tensest encounters, that contagious smile of his face never disappears.
3. His celebration

His trademark ‘arms-spread-wide’ century celebration is picture perfect. It makes the romantics think of SRK and the health-freaks of Ramdev Baba. Either way, it has inspired many a memes and invoked many a smiles.
4. His ‘Dabangg’ attitude

The best Hindi adjective to describe Dhawan is bindass. You can almost feel the freedom with which he carries himself on the field.
5. And of course, his outrageous batting

Dhawan is one of the most stylish stroke-players in the Indian team at the moment. His aggressive approach to the game reminds you of Sehwag’s fearless batting.
