The experienced Shikhar Dhawan may be out of the reckoning for India in the T20Is set-up but that hasn’t dimmed his will to make a comeback to the national team.
On Tuesday, he produced a composed display of responsible and aggressive batting in his unbeaten knock of 62 as Punjab Kings cantered to an easy eight-wicket win over Gujarat Titans at the DY Patil Stadium in Navi Mumbai on Tuesday.
Dhawan’s upper-cut off Alzarri Joseph to a ball aimed at his throat was the pick of his shots. He also took a special liking for state-mate Pradeep Sangwan, cutting him for three fours.
The win means Kings leapfrog to fifth place in the table with 10 points to stay in the hunt for the playoffs while the five-match winning streak of Titans comes to an end.
Dhawan and Sri Lankan batter Bhanuka Rajapaksa put on a crucial 87 runs for the second wicket after the early departure of Jonny Bairstow off Mohammad Shami’s bowling for 1.
