IPL 2023 - New Update On Shikhar Dhawan's Injury: Punjab Kings Fans Have Enough Reasons To Worry

21.04.2023 - 08:55 sports.ndtv.com

Punjab Kings will have to wait for another two to three days on the availability of regular captain Shikhar Dhawan, which puts him a doubtful starter for Saturday's clash against Mumbai Indians in the Indian Premier League.

Dhawan sustained a shoulder injury during Punjab Kings' match against Gujarat Titans on April 13. Despite missing two matches since then, he is still among the top five most prolific batters this season with 233 runs in four matches at 116.50. "It should take around 2-3 days more," PBKS' fielding coach Trevor Gonsalves told the media when asked about Dhawan's injury update.

PBKS lost to Royal Challengers Bangalore by 24 runs here on Thursday. Talking about the match, Gonsalves said, "It was a good wicket to bat on.

We got them at a god enough score, but we lost a few wickets early on.” PBKS were bowled out for 150 in 18.2 overs, while chasing 175.
