With back-to-back cricket since the Australia tour last year, the Indian team has had a rather hectic schedule. Now that the IPL is over, the team travels to Bangladesh next month for a short series. Dhawan has been a regular member of the team in all formats ever since he made a sensational Test debut in 2013, scoring a sublime 187 against Australia at Mohali.

He has also experienced some dry patches since returning to the Indian team two years ago but he has overcome those testing times, the most recent being his impressive showing in the World Cup Down Under after struggling in the preceding Test and ODI series against Australia.
