5 Surprise selections in the Indian squad

3. Rishi Dhawan:

Himachal Pradesh’s all-rounder Rishi Dhawan has been in the sights of the cricket fans for a while. Dhawan was a part of the India ‘A’ squad recently. He has also performed consistently in domestic cricket and IPL. But, it was not anticipated that he would make the cut and get his maiden call-up to the ODI team.

Rishi Dhawan is primarily a medium pacer but has evolved as a seam bowling all-rounder with some good performances with the bat in recent times in domestic cricket. Dhawan could prove useful in helpful conditions down under which suits his style of play. He would surely not afford to miss this golden opportunity.
