Shikhar Dhawan IPL Century List: How many IPL hundreds has Punjab Kings’ captain scored?

Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan missed his century against Rajasthan Royals in the eighth league match of Indian Premier League 2023 in Guwahati last night. He played a brilliant knock of 86* (56) which helped the team to register a 5-run victory.

At one stage, Dhawan was playing at 29* (29) after 11 overs, but then he started his acceleration. In the 14th over, Dhawan scored 14 runs in four balls off Rajasthan spinner Yuzvendra Chahal. He played just a single ball in the final over, or else, he could have even scored a hundred.

Under Dhawan’s captaincy, PBKS have won their initial two matches of the season after a spell of six long years. The Indian Southpaw would want to continue his form in the remainder of the season as well.
