Had it not been for Shikhar Dhawan's unbeaten 97 in the fourth ODI against England, the southpaw's coach, Tarak Sinha, would have been very worried for his ward.

The India opener was under tremendous pressure to keep his place in the playing XI after repeated failures at the top. The southpaw finally roared back to form, helping Team India win comfortably by nine wickets on Tuesday and clinch the five-match series 3-0 at Edgbaston.
