Opener Shikhar Dhawan has become the joint-fastest left-handed batsman to reach 5,000 runs in ODI cricket, achieving the feat during his unbeaten 75-run knock in the first ODI against New Zealand on Wednesday. The 33-year-old reached the landmark in his 118th innings, equalling former Windies captain Brian Lara's record. Dhawan is the second fastest Indian batsman to reach the milestone.
