Shikhar Dhawan achieved another milestone in the first ODI on Friday (November 25) against New Zealand. He became the seventh Indian batsman in List A history to reach 12,000 runs. Shikhar Dhawan reached the milestone with a quick 72 off 77 in the first of three one-day internationals against New Zealand in Auckland.
