Shikhar Dhawan Ruled Out of Entire IPL 2024? PBKS Head Provides Big Update

PBKS Head of cricket, Sanjay Bangar has provided big update on Shikhar Dhawan.

Punjab Kings (PBKS) captain Shikhar Dhawan could be sidelined from IPL 2024 for a week or so due to a shoulder injury, which prevented his participation in the recent PBKS vs RR fixture. Alongside concerns over his fitness, Dhawan appears to be battling a decline in form as well.

“Unfortunately, we missed out on having Shikhar because he has suffered a shoulder injury. So, he’s likely to be out for a couple of games I would say. Having an experienced opener, somebody like Shikhar, who has experience of playing on such wickets, becomes extremely crucial for the team,” confirmed PBKS Head of Cricket Development, Sanjay Bangar.

Shikhar Dhawan has amassed 152 runs in five innings, maintaining a strike rate of 125.62 and an average of 30.40. Notably, he secured a half-century, scoring 70 runs off 50 balls in a match against LSG.
