Ex-India Opener Shikhar Dhawan To Play Cricket Again, Joins Franchise In This Country
Former India opener Shikhar Dhawan on Thursday joined Karnali Yaks and will take part in the inaugural season of the Nepal Premier League (NPL). Dhawan's decision to join Karnali Yaks came days after Indian Premier League (IPL) franchise Punjab Kings (PBKS) have released him ahead of the 2025 mega-auction. In IPL 2024, Shikhar Dhawan represented the Punjab-based franchise in 5 matches and scored 152 runs at a strike rate of 125.62. His time with the Kings in IPL 2024 was cut short after he suffered an injury which forced him out of the field for the rest of the season.
