Shikhar Dhawan's poor form with the bat is a concern for Indian team as he failed to give good start in the two ODI played. With scores of 6 and 9 in the first two ODI at Perth and Brisbane respectively. He struggled to tackle the Australian bowling and his early dismissal put pressure on the new batsman and the team.

In the ten innings he played after the World Cup, Dhawan scored only 299 runs at an average of 29.90. He did not score any century and just scored three fifties, all of which came in the Indian subcontinent.
Options
It will be interesting to see how long MS Dhoni will persist with Dhawan at the top of the batting order. In-form Ajinkya Rahane is one of the best option who could very well fit in for Dhawan at the top of the order and stick around with Rohit Sharma to get India off to a good start.
With India 2 down in the five match series, MS Dhoni should work on the some other combinations to bunce back in the series.
