India batsman, Shikhar Dhawan couldn’t do much to remain in the ongoing five-Test match series against England. Following his dismal run, Twittersphere took a dig at the experienced campaigner.

India was looking impressive at the beginning of the day.

They played well in the first innings wherein Pujara smashed a brilliant century. The bowlers did really well to restrict them to a total of 246 runs. India then batted and took a lead of 27 runs. England scores 271 runs in the second innings and sets a target of 245 runs in front of the Indian batsmen.

Team India opener, Shikhar Dhawan, and Lokesh Rahul were on the crease to chase down the more than a fighting target. However, the English bowler Stuart Broad picks up the early wicket of Rahul scoring a duck from seven balls.

Moreover, James Anderson joins the party after picking the second wicket of Cheteshwar Puraja, who contributed five runs off his bat. Dhawan was still at the crease with skipper Virat Kohli.

Southpaw Dhawan was going well with his bat, but suddenly a good length delivery from England Anderson came upto him. He tries to hit the ball over the gully region.

Ben Stokes took a stunning catch and showed him the way towards the pavilion. Meanwhile, he also didn’t score much of his runs in the first innings.

India left-hander, Dhawan scored 155 runs from the last six innings. He failed to score a half-century as well as hundred in any of the matches.

Meanwhile, Dhawan wishes his dear friend and also his teammate Ishant Sharma on his 30th birthday. However, India bowler Ishant took 14 wickets from the last four Test matches played against England.
