5 things that no one saw coming in World Cup 2015

The ICC World Cup 2015 that kick started on February 14 has seen a lot of ups and downs alongside some inspirational and aggressive performances. Here is a list of 5 things that no one saw coming:  

#1 Destructive Dhawan

After an extended stretch of poor scores in the build up to the World Cup, where he hardly managed to cross the double-digit run mark, Shikhar Dhawan has come back strong scoring heavily in India’s first two matches – against Pakistan and South Africa – thus silencing his critics.

Hardly anyone expected him to regain his destructive power, but Dhawan proved them wrong as he scored a well-paced 73 against arch-rivals Pakistan in the team’s World Cup opener. His partnership with Virat Kohli laid the platform for India to reach the 300-run mark and eventually record their 6th consecutive triumph against Pakistan in World Cups.

He continued from where he left and notched up a century (137 off 146 balls) against the Proteas. It helped India set up their first-ever victory against South Africa in World Cups. So far, his performance in the WC has helped India create and rewrite history; let’s hope he continues to deliver such performances.
