Punjab Kings batter Shikhar Dhawan achieved many personal milestones during the recently concluded 38th match of the ongoing 15th season of the Indian Premier League against defending champions Chennai Super Kings.
Dhawan, who scored a match-winning 88* (59) at the Wankhede Stadium tonight, brought up his second IPL 2022 half-century, 65th T20 half-century, 46th IPL half-century, eighth half-century against Super Kings and sixth at this venue by virtue of this knock.
Before reaching the 50-run mark, Dhawan had also become only the second batter after former Royal Challengers Bangalore captain Virat Kohli (6,402) to complete 6,000 runs in the IPL.
