Shikhar Dhawan thanks God (and Zimbabwe) for giving him three chances to get to his century

Shikhar Dhawan is relishing the challenges that face opening batsmen under the testing conditions imposed by the latest ODI laws, having scored his third century in two months to see India to a 58-run victory over Zimbabwe on Friday.

Shikhar Dhawan enjoyed more than his fair share of luck, surviving two dropped catches as well as a catch off a no-ball on his way to 116 - his highest ODI score - as India took a 2-0 lead in the five-match series.
