Shikhar Dhawan, the top scorer for Punjab Kings (PBKS) in this season’s Indian Premier League (IPL), will be sidelined for at least seven to ten days due to a shoulder injury. Dhawan, who has amassed 152 runs in five games, including a half-century, will miss the upcoming fixtures against Mumbai Indians and Gujarat Titans.
Shikhar Dhawan to Miss Next Two Matches. Sanjay Bangar, Punjab Kings’ Head of Cricket Development, confirmed Dhawan’s absence and mentioned that the experienced opener’s injury requires a recovery period of at least a week.
In the absence of Dhawan, Sam Curran, the star overseas all-rounder, took charge as the stand-in captain during PBKS’ recent match against Rajasthan Royals. Bangar expressed the significance of Dhawan’s experience and expertise, especially on challenging wickets, but stated that his return would depend on how he responds to treatment.
The team will closely monitor Dhawan’s progress, but for now, his absence poses a significant setback for Punjab Kings in their upcoming games.
