Career

Domestic Career

Dhawan started his professional career with Delhi Under-16s in the 1999/00 Vijay Merchant Trophy. Next year, he was the leading run-scorer of the 2000/01 Vijay Merchant Trophy. These two incredible seasons paved his path for India ACC Under-17 Asia Cup. Averaging 85 in the Asia Cup from three games, Dhawan was subsequently drafted into the Delhi Under-19 team in October 2001, for the Cooch Behar Trophy, and then again in October 2002.

With brilliant performances, one over the other, Shikhar Dhawan became the star of Indian Domestic cricket at a very early age. He then played for North Zone Under-19s, the CK Nayudu Trophy, Cooch Behar Trophy, and the Delhi Under-19 team. In the 2004 Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, Dhawan finished as the leading run-scorer of the tournament with 505 runs from seven innings.

Dhawan made his first-class debut for Delhi in November 2004. Dhawan finished as Delhi’s leading run-getter that Ranji season with 461 runs from 6 matches. In 2005/06 Challenger Trophy in October 2005, Dhawan played for India B and had his first disappointing series in a long time. After that, Dhawan played for North Zone against Zimbabwe Cricket Union President’s XI and Board President’s XI in a three-day match against the touring Sri Lankan team.

Shikhar Dhawan also represented India A in the EurAsia Cricket Series in April–May 2006. The 2006-07 Ranji season was memorable for Dhawan, for he was made captain of the Delhi team for the Ranji One-day Trophy in February 2007. Dhawan was a part of the victorious Delhi team who won the 2007–08 season. He then played exceptional cricket across tournaments till his career hit a rough patch in 2010 when India A was touring England. His poor form turned around in the limited-overs triangular series involving England Lions, India A, and West Indies A, where he scored 166 runs from 4 innings at an average of 41.50 and a strike rate 130.70.

He has then selected the Rest of India’s squad against the defending Ranji champions Mumbai in the Irani Cup in October 2010. His performance in Irani Cup earned him a spot for India Blue in the Challengers Trophy, which was a bittersweet tournament for him. But it did earn him a national call-up. Dhawan was in and out of Domestic cricket as he slowly started to become a national team regular.

He played Ranji for Delhi in the 2010–11 Ranji Trophy. It was a poor phase for Dhawan, and he struggled with form in Duleep Trophy, Vijay Hazare Trophy, and Deodhar Trophy. It continued in the West Indies, and Dhawan could not find a place in the Indian squad that toured England. But Dhawan redeemed himself with his domestic exploits. The 2012–13 Ranji season was probably Dhawan’s last for the foreseeable future as he became an integral part of the national team.
