VIDEO: Shikhar Dhawan’s innings in India vs Australia semi-final, ICC Cricket World Cup 2015

Shikhar Dhawan scored 45 off 41 deliveries against Australia in ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 semi-final at Sydney Cricket Ground (SCG). Dhawan and his opening partner Rohit Sharma had gotten India off to a bright start. The duo out on 76 for the first wicket and India had secured just the sort of launch pad they needed for the middle order to take off. Watch the video here.

Dhawan was looking very dangerous and Australia will be happy to get rid of him, especially dropping him early on in the innings. Dhawan was dropped early against South Africa and Ireland, on both occasions he converted them into match-winning centuries. India are chasing 329 to win to book a place in the final of the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015.  VIDEO: Umesh Yadav’s 4 for 72 in India-Australia semi-final, ICC Cricket World Cup 2015
