Shikhar Dhawan, the opening batsman and former captain of the Indian team, has not been able to play a single international match this year. He played his last international match against Bangladesh in December 2022. After this, Shubman Gill started opening with Rohit Sharma and he secured his place in the team with his good performance. At the same time, Dhawan was dropped from the team due to his poor form and now there is little hope of his comeback. However, Gabbar does not give up and continues his efforts.
The left-handed opening batsman was last seen in action during IPL 2023. In that too, he could not play the entire match due to injury. Punjab Kings have retained Gabbar for IPL 2024. Now he will be seen entertaining the fans once again in the 17th season of IPL, for which he has started preparations.
On Monday, December 11, the 38-year-old batsman shared a video on Instagram. In this video, Dhawan has come out to bat on the pitch after a long time. During this, he also hit some attractive shots and the ball was also making good contact with his bat. Gabbar wrote in the caption of the post,
A return to the cricket pitch, where every shot feels like a reunion with an old friend.
Opener Shikhar Dhawan is counted among the experienced batsmen of IPL. He has played 217 matches in his IPL career, in which he has scored 6617 runs at an average of 35.39. During this period, he has scored two centuries and fifty half-centuries. Dhawan is second only to Virat Kohli in terms of scoring most runs in IPL.
