'Tough times made me stronger': The curious case of Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan believes that every lean patch in his career has made him "stronger" but it is his clarity and calmness that has enabled him to ride over rough times. The oldest player in the Indian ODI set-up, there were lot of talks about Dhawan's poor form in domestic cricket but as it has been with the 36-year-old, he was back with a bang in his favourite blue shirt with a top-score of 79 off 84 balls, albeit in a losing cause in the first ODI against South Africa.
