Dhawan had a successful outings in Australia and New Zealand and showed consistency with a lot of confidence. Dhawan started the Australia tour on a high with two fine performances in the three-match T20I series. Dhawan ended the series with 117 runs under his name and also won the player of the series award.
Dhawan could not take that momentum in the ODI series as he made just 55 runs in three matches but bounced back against New Zealand as he scored 188 runs in the five-match ODI series at an average of 47. Dhawan was just behind teammate Ambati Rayudu as India won the series 4-1.
Dhawan will be looking to carry the momentum against Australia at home, following which he will be seen in action in the Indian Premier League for Delhi Capitals. Dhawan has already secured his place in 2019 World Cup squad and will be looking to bring the trophy back home.
