India captain Shikhar Dhawan missed out on a well-deserved century in the first ODI against West Indies at the Queen's Park Oval, Port of Spain, Trinidad on Friday. Dhawan was dismissed for 97 runs in 99 balls with the help of 10 boundaries and three sixes. The left-hand batsman spend some time in the 90s before hitting a six towards the cow-corner to get to 97 however he tried to slam the ball towards the point where Shamarh Brooks took a superb catch to send back India's skipper.
Superhuman catch from #ShamarhBrooks, and @SDhawan25 goes for 97. Breaking hearts can be heard everywhere.
