ICC Cricket World Cup: Gabbar Is Back! Shikhar Dhawan's Explosive Blade Destroys Australia And We Can't Keep Calm

Shikhar Dhawan finally got into his groove in India's second ICC World Cup game. He slammed his 3rd World Cup hundred as Australia felt the might of his blade. As a result he was back in form which is something fans are loving. He is also the first Indian to score 4 ODI hundreds in England.

Dhawan slammed 117 in 109 balls with 16 fours. He put on 127 runs for the first wicket with Rohit Sharma (57) and that was followed by a 93-run alliance with skipper Virat Kohli. By the time Dhawan fell, India had moved to a position of strength. Needless to say, his fans were going crazy on Twitter. Here's what they had to say:

Shikhar Dhawan today: (117 off 109 balls)
- 1st Indian with four ODI hundreds in England
- 2nd visiting player with four ODI hundreds in England
- Fastest to 1000 ODI runs in England (19 inns)
- 3rd highest World Cup score vs Australia#CWC19 #INDvAUS

It is good news for Indian fans that Dhawan has come into form so early in the tournament. With still 7 games left to go, India are looking to finish in the top four and go the distance. The next game is against New Zealand on June 13. The Mother of All Battles vs Pakistan follows on June 16.
