Shikhar Dhawan has not quite managed to create an impression in the ongoing T20I series against Bangladesh. He had scored 41 and 31 in the first two T20Is respectively but failed to convert his starts into big scores on both occasions. Meanwhile, the southpaw will be looking to restore his confidence in the third and final match which is also the decider by getting some runs under his belt. However, before Sunday's decider at the VCA Stadium in Nagpur, Shikhar Dhawan and other members of Team India had caught up with the Suryakiran Aerobatic Team of the Indian Air Force.

The series decider

Both teams head into the third and final and T20I at Nagpur after having won a game each. Bangladesh had drawn the first blood at Delhi and India scored an equaliser at Rajkot. If India manage to win this one then it will be their first T20I home series win this year. They were whitewashed by Australia in the shortest format of the game earlier this year while their last T20I series against South Africa was tied at 1-1 after the first match was abandoned due to rain.
