CRICKET
Shikhar Dhawan made a starring return to Team India as he scored a half-century which was much appreciated by the Indian fans on Twitter.
'Gabbar is back' wrote fans on Twitter as Shikhar Dhawan scored a well-deserved half-century on his return to the Indian team. The southpaw hasn't featured for Team India regularly in recent times but his return was much appreciated by fans on Wednesday.
Chasing a mammoth 297 run target against South Africa in Boland Park, Team India needed a big score from their openers however KL Rahul, captain of the team departed for a paltry 12 runs. Shikhar though, turned back the clock as he played a brilliant knock.
Steadying the ship alongside Virat Kohli, Dhawan completed his fifty and would continue to lead the chase for India.
Meanwhile, fans on Twitter were full of appreciation for Shikhar Dhawan. While some fans questioned why Dhawan was not getting more chances in the team despite his prowess in limited-overs cricket, some other users posted hilarious memes lauding the left-hander.
Here is how Twitterati reacted to Shikhar Dhawan's stunning fifty versus South Africa:
Gabbar is back
