He might
have missed a highest list A score but he thrashed 248 in just 150 balls to get
India A to 433
"I was aware of the record and it
felt really special to score these runs," Dhawan said after the match
after India A's 39-run win over South Africa A which took them to the
tri-series final against Australia A
"When I got out in the 44th over
it occurred to me that if I had batted till the end I had a chance to score a
triple hundred. I am happy with what I scored though. It did cross my mind that
I joined Sachin paaji and Viru paaji in scoring a double century in a one-day
game," he added.
It was an amazing knock by the youngster. it will surely help india
in future and also give more confidence to Dhawan.
Dhawan smashed 187 runs in his test debut against Australia.
This year, Dhawan has scored four international centuries - one in Tests
and three in ODIs - and was Man of the Series in India's victorious Champions
Trophy campaign. Reflecting on his knock on Monday, Dhawan said he picked his
strokes well.
