THE RISE OF SHIKHAR DHAWAN FOR INDIA AND HIS STYLISH WAY OF TWIRLING THE MUSTACHES...

         Well, No one can forget the disastrous whitewash done by  England and Australia on their own backyards in 2011-12. Inspite of putting the best team in England and Down under, Indians failed to achieve even a single victory in tests and everyone including famous experts thought that India's cricketing future is bleak, there is  no batsmen who can replace the likes of Sehwag, Dravid, Laxman , Ganguly and obviously Tendulkar.
         But, God plan things beautifully and he send one fearless man in Indian dressing room who now an integral part of Indian Team for each and every series. He is none other but a mustache man Shikhar Dhawan. Definitely, his sublime knock of 187 off just 174 balls in Mohali is just hartening to watch. The way he arrived at crease, the way he went  after the pace attack of australia was just refreshing to see and after becoming the fastest debutant centurian, the way he took off the helmet and received applaud from the audience by twirling the mustaches was enough to take a hint that he is going to be the next one man army of Indian cricket team. From there on, this guy has never stopped. The way he steps out of the crease against the pace bowlers is just stunning to watch. His effective strokeplay has grabbed the attention of the viewers and experts all over the world who follow cricket by close quarters.
               Those strokes, the on-the-walk cover drive and the mid-air upper cuts, he possessed since his pre-teen days. They got him buckets of runs at the U-19 level and fetched him a few centuries in the Ranji Trophy. But international cricket was different, and Dhawan, tortured by his failures, knew it. "If given a chance again, I would like to play my strokes with confidence, without worrying about the situation or the pressure. You see, confidence will get me runs. Runs will get me chances. Chances will give me more confidence."these are his worlds and that is what he has done. His confidence is just amazing and his approach towards the game is positive enough to add many more laurels to his and team's credit.he is definitely an asset for the team now but still there is a long way to go to fill those big voids created by the big people and hopefully, he will definitely fill those voids in his own stylish way.
