During the third ODI of the ongoing India’s tour of England at the Emirates Old Trafford in Manchester, India’s hopes of clinching the three-match series have been handed an early dent, as both their openers – Shikhar Dhawan (1 off 3) and skipper Rohit Sharma (17 off 17) headed back towards the dressing room within the first five Overs of the run chase.
An impressive bowling performance for the third successive occasion, led by all-rounder Hardik Pandya (7-3-24-4) who notched-up his career-best ODI figures, meant that team India bundled up the English batting line-up for 259 in 45.5 Overs.
It is worth of a mention that this is the seventh successive ODI in which India have bowled out the opposition, with the last time of the same happening during the 2015 World Cup in Australia and New Zealand.
As for the famed Indian opening pair of Dhawan and Rohit, who recently became only the 4th pair in ODI history to complete 5,000 runs in the format, the experienced duo have, for the second consecutive game put their side in deep waters early in the chase.

Shikhar Dhawan last 10 ODI innings score (updated on December 10, 2022)
The Southpaw batter, who has been team India’s mainstay in the ODI format for quite some time now, hasn’t been able to touch the three-figure mark in international cricket since ICC Cricket World Cup 2019.
Dhawan, who has registered 12 half-centuries in 35 ODI innings in this period, has scored a total of 186 runs in his last 10 ODI innings. Dhawan’s respective average and strike rate of 18.60 and 65.26 in this period comprises of a solitary half-century and six single-digit scores. With ICC Cricket World Cup 2023 nearing with every outing, the Indian team needs Dhawan to regain lost touch.
