Profile
Dhawan, one of India's more aggressive opening batsmen, had an average year, which saw him slip out of the top 20 in the rankings. He suffered a thumb injury during the series versus New Zealand, which eventually cost him his place in the team. Dhawan scored 306 runs in eight Tests (average 25.5/two 50s) and 413 in 10 ODIs (average 41.3) in the period under consideration.
Fast Fact: Dhawan was introduced to his wife Ayesha on Facebook through teammate Harbhajan Singh.
