Shikhar Dhawan has been one of the vital cogs for India in the past few years, especially in the limited overs format where he has sealed the opening slot.
Dhawan's breakout tournament in coloured clothing came in England - in the 2013 Champions Trophy - as India lifted the trophy with the opener scoring 363 runs in five matches at an average of 90.75.
England is one of the places where Dhawan likes to play, having scored 856 runs in 14 matches at an average of 71.33. He is fourth on the list of most runs scored by an Indian in England, playing way less matches than the other players on the list.
However, Dhawan's record against England isn't the most inspiring since most of his runs have come in multi-nation tournament like the Champions Trophy.
In nine matches against England in England, Dhawan has scored 237 runs at an average of 29.62 with a best score of 97*. He has managed to score a 50+ score once. Barring this 97, in the rest 8 innings, he has scored only 140 runs at an average of 17.5.
Countries against whom Dhawan has featured in 5 or more matches, his batting average against England is the second worst only ahead of New Zealand.
He will have a chance to improve that when India take on England in Nottingham on Friday. Though he hasn't had the best of starts to the tour so far, with scores of 5,10 and 4 but the Indian team management will still be pinning hopes on the opener to provide them with quick starts.
