5 Notable cricketers to come out from Sonnet Cricket Club

2. Shikhar Dhawan

Without any doubt, Shikhar Dhawan will go down as one of the most stylish openers for India in limited overs format. Since 2013, he has been a big name in the Indian cricket circuit. Even though he has been replaced by a younger Shubman Gill, Dhawan has the talent and dedication to reclaim his throne.

Hailing out of Sonnet Cricket Club, Dhawan has been a great limited-overs batsman for the national side. In 167 ODIs, he has scored 6793 runs at an impressive strike rate of 91.35. Adding on, he has 17 centuries to his name as well. Talking about T20Is, the Southpaw has scored 1759 runs in 68 games for Men in Blue

Dhawan is well known for scoring runs on important occasions. During the 2019 World Cup, he was in great form as he scored a century against Australia. However, he got injured at the wrong time and India dearly missed Dhawan during the semi-final against New Zealand.
