Shikhar Dhawan

I am not the deepest cricket follower, but Shikhar Dhawan's record stops you cold. Leading run scorer and Player of the Tournament at the 2013 Champions Trophy, top Indian scorer at the 2015 World Cup, and more than a decade as a fixture at the top of India's limited-overs order. That is not luck, that is durability. What I admire most is the opener's burden, the thankless job of setting a tone before anyone else has settled, carried with that grinning, mustachioed swagger. The Arjuna Award feels like belated recognition of a player who quietly anchored an era.
