Five things you didn't know about Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan justified his selection ahead of Virender Sehwag with the fastest century on Test debut — taking just 85 balls to reach the landmark. Here are five facts you may not have known about him. - Dhawan was named the Player of the Tournament at the 2003-04 Under-19 World Cup in Bangladesh, where he slammed three centuries and scored a total of 505 runs at an average of 84.16. [caption id=“attachment_663846” align=“alignleft” width=“380”] ![Dhawan was in supreme form on his Test debut. PTI](https://images.firstpost.com/wp-content/uploads/2013/03/ShikharDhawan_100_PTI.jpg) Dhawan was in supreme form on his Test debut. PTI[/caption] - He believes in a detailed analysis of his practice. In an interview to ESPN Cricinfo in February, he said: “I write down how I played, little details about the way I batted, the way I was feeling.” - Dhawan is a tattoo freak. He got his first tattoo done when he was 15 (without telling his parents) and has been inked four times. On his left shoulder/arm, he’s got ‘Carpe Diem’, on his right a tribal sign and on his back is a design which even he can’t describe. - Shikhar is married to his long-time girlfriend Ayesha — who is an Australian citizen. Wonder if he will think of getting an Australian passport and switch sides? - In 81 First Class matches, his average is 45.79 and in five ODIs for India, he has scored 69 runs at an average of 13.80.
