Shikhar Dhawan


Shikhar Dhawan can be the first choice for Dhoni to open the innings for India. He may be in poor form in IPL and the recent test series but his performance in Champions Trophy in England last year might be the plus point for him. With only three specialist openers in the team, Dhawan can be given the top priority.

He was picked in India's squad for the Champions Trophy last year and sizzled that tournament with two centuries in the side's first two matches. He was the leading run scorer for India in Asia Cup 2014 with 192 runs in 4 ODIs.

In 39 ODIs he has 1504 runs at an average of 41.77 with strike rate of 89.52. These figures of him might force Dhoni to forget his past.
