It’s curious how, by a fortuitous accretion of good results, every cricketer tends to have a favourite venue. For example, Anil Kumble and Delhi’s Ferozeshah Kotla, where he took all 10 wickets in a Test innings in 1999, or Mohammed Azharuddin and the Eden Gardens, where he has five Test centuries, or Sunil Gavaskar and the Queen’s Park Oval, in Port of Spain (four centuries). For Shikhar Dhawan, it is Kennington Oval in London, where he averages an astounding 152.50, and Edgbaston in Birmingham, where he has regained his form in this year’s Champions Trophy. Dhawan, 31, relishes scoring on foreign soil—his other 200-plus run aggregates in 79 ODIs are at the Melbourne Cricket Ground and the Sher-e-Bangla National Stadium in Dhaka.
