Dhawan’s stunning knock included 12 fours and five sixes.
Chris Gayle also agreed with Lara and said Dhawan deserved a century which he missed by just one run.
“Shikhar was fantastic for his team, and when you keep losing wickets around you, it’s never going to be easy, and to hold the steady nerves and to actually get to that particular total and get to 99 as well,” said Gayle.
“I thought he deserved a hundred and that’s one of the best innings you will ever see in the IPL as well,” added the self-styled ‘Universe Boss’.
