Shikhar Dhawan<\/a> of the Punjab Kings<\/a> has has become the second Indian following Suresh Raina to achieve 400+ runs in seven consecutive IPL seasons. Punjab Kings roped him in for 8.25 crores in the IPL 2022\u00a0mega auction.<\/p>\n

Shikhar Dhawan, the seasoned cricketer who now represents Punjab Kings (PBKS), has been in the heart of things yet has gone nearly undetected. The irony is that, while Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma\u2019s failings are widely discussed on a regular basis, Dhawan\u2019s accomplishments aren\u2019t.<\/p>\n

He also became the second player in the IPL to reach 6000 runs, and the third Indian to get 9000 runs in T20 cricket, behind Virat Kohli<\/a> and Rohit Sharma.<\/a> In addition, the southpaw became the first player to reach 1000 runs against the Chennai Super Kings.<\/p>\n

Dhawan, the league\u2019s second-highest run scorer, is on the verge of becoming the first player to knock 701 fours in the tournament\u2019s history. Dhawan, the league\u2019s leading boundary hitter, has 696 fours to his name, with four more to get him to 700. Dhawan is far ahead of the next hitter, David Warner<\/a>, who has 576 fours in 160 games.<\/p>\n

Dhawan has scored the second-most runs in IPL history. His 6244 runs are second only to Virat Kohli\u2019s 6592 runs, despite the fact that he has played 15 less matches.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
