It was a Deodhar Trophy century in the City of Destiny this year in March that paved the way back for Shikhar Dhawan into the Indian team just in time for the Champions Trophy. Yesterday, the Indian opener rewrote his own destiny here at the ACA-VDCA Dr YSR Stadium with an unbeaten century to seal the three-match ODI against Sri Lanka 2-1 with a comprehensive eight-wicket win. He also helped India stay unbeatable in ODI cricket this year.
