Veteran Indian opener Shikhar Dhawan is leaving no stone unturned to complete his fairytale comeback into the white-ball squad of the Men In Blue. Playing another captain’s knock in the 16th edition of IPL, PBKS skipper Dhawan put up a fight against SRH in match No.14 of the cash-rich tournament at the Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium.
Dhawan said after the match –
“I hope you were happy with my strike rate as you tweeted something. I can bowl googlies as well!.” The PBKS skipper was named the Player of the Match for his batting masterclass. Known for his calm demeanour, Dhawan issued a noteworthy statement when the PBKS skipper was asked about his fighting knock at the post-match presentation.
He said – “As a batting unit, we lost too many wickets back to back and couldn’t put up a big total on the ground and because of that we lost the game. 175-180 would have been a reasonable score. The wicket looked quite good but it was seaming and swinging.”

Shikhar Dhawan added –
“Of course it was disappointing (seeing wickets keep falling) but the way we thought the wicket was going to play, it was playing differently. It was seaming and sometimes keeping low. But that’s a learning process for my batting unit and that’s fine.”
