A note of caution hangs over his selection for the fourth Test against Australia in Sydney starting next week and even if the 29-year-old makes the cut again, he'll walk out knowing that time's running out.
If knowing your off-stump is indeed the most vital ingredient in Test match batting, Dhawan's effort, or the lack of it, has been a mess so far. Tom Moody, the former Australia all-rounder and Dhawan's coach at Sunrisers Hyderabad, is convinced the batsman has work to do.
"The most important factor for any Test batsman is to understand where their off-stump is. At times, Shikhar can have that uncertainty .It's a different game in ODI s because you don't have that field setting behind stumps, two or three slips, a gully etc. and those thick edges run down to third man," says Moody .
"He should always look to play positive cricket but that ability to leave the ball is very important too," he says. "When the ball is in that area, that corridor of fourth or fifth off-stump, knowing when to leave it makes all the difference," he said. "The frustrating thing is that he has got starts on a number of occasions on this tour."
