Punjab Kings' all-rounder Rishi Dhawan, who was playing his first Indian Premier League (IPL) match after a long gap of almost six years, grabbed everyone's attention by sporting a face-shield while bowling against Chennai Super Kings on Monday. The 32-year-old Dhawan was picked by Punjab Kings in the IPL 2022 mega auction for Rs 55 Lakh after his impressive performance in the domestic circuit with Himachal Pradesh. He led his team to the historic Vijay Hazare Trophy last year. On his IPL comeback, the seamer had a decent outing with the ball for Punjab. He first cleaned up the in-form batter Shivam Dube (8) in his second over and then dismissed MS Dhoni in the last over of the innings, helping Punjab beat CSK by 11 runs on Monday.
Mayank Agarwal-led Punjab Kings (PBKS) defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 11 runs to gain crucial two points at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday. The win put PBKS in sixth position in the IPL 2022 points table with four wins from eight matches. The match was marked by some stupendous performances with the bat as well as the ball from both sides. Shikhar Dhawan, playing his 200th IPL match, scored 88 runs while Ambati Rayudu mesmerised the crowd with an equally enterprising knock of 78 runs. In the bowling department, Dwayne Bravo, Kagiso Rabada and Rishi Dhawan took two wickets each for their franchises.
Featuring for the first time in the Indian Premier League (IPL) since 2016, Rishi Dhawan caught the attention of fans and experts in Match 38 as Punjab Kings (PBKS) took on Chennai Super Kings (CSK) at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday. Coming on to bowl, the all-rounder was seen sporting a protective face shield which got many reactions from Twitter as fans began to tried to figure out the reason. The reason Dhawan was wearing a protective face gear is due to an injury sustained in the Ranji Trophy before IPL 2022 began. The 32-year-old got hit during the second round of fixtures and was also taken to the hospital for scans. Having undergone surgery after being hit, Dhawan is understood to be wearing the mask while bowling. Due to this reason, he also missed the first four matches for Punjab and was also seen in the nets with his mask.
Punjab Kings' (PBKS) skipper Mayank Agarwal and senior South African pacer Kagiso Rabada praised young Arshdeep Singh for his untiring work in the death overs as Punjab defeated Chennai Super Kings (CSK) by 11 runs in the IPL here on Monday. After PBKS posted 187/4 in 20 overs, thanks mainly to a majestic unbeaten 88 by Shikhar Dhawan and his 110-run partnership with Bhanuka Rajapaksa (42), Ambati Rayudu (78) propelled CSK to a position from where they could have gone for victory. From 40/3, Rayudu helped Chennai reach 153/5 with vital partnerships with Ruturaj Gaikwad (30) and Ravindra Jadeja (21 not out), needing 47 runs off 24 balls to win the match.
