#1 Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan, unlike many of his Indian teammates has never been a brilliant T20 batsman. Not in the IPL, not in the internationals. During the 2014 T20 World Cup in Bangladesh, Dhawan struggled big time. Three matches into the tournament, he was dropped and never got a game after that.

However, his ability, his knack of scoring runs on the big stage is what would make him walk straight into this team. The Champions Trophy in 2013 and the 50 Over World Cup in 2015, strikes a chord, doesn't it?
