I've not been on twitter for a very long time but in general what I have seen is people don't like Shikhar Dhawan here.
For me ever since I started watching cricket he's been one of my favorites. Those cover drives and hoicks to the leg side are just

I wouldn't defend his Test or T20 performances but as a ODI player he has been at the top.
He might not have gotten to the 8000-9000 runs but has always given his best and been one of the pillars for India's good run the format since a long time.

5688 runs in 136 matches at an average of 45.14 and a strike rate of 94.01 is not an easy task and he has these numbers in a career marred by bad patches and injuries.
One of the things I like about him is that whenever he comes back he compensates with unbelievable form.

His test and T20I record might not be enviable but it is nothing to be laughed at certainly.
A test avg of 40 isn't bad by any standards and he has tried to give his best in T20I's also and entertained always.

Not to mention IPL where he holds the record for most 4's and has over 4500 runs.
Dhawan was one of the reasons for SRH's successes but is never given enough credit.

People might never have him in all time XI's and he might not be counted as a great ever but for me Rohit,Shikhar,Virat will always be India's Odi best top 3.
PS: Guess what he's not a stat padder also
