It is always a treat to witness Shikhar Dhawan in action on the field. He is one of the most fearless batters, but he is rarely seen in action for the Indian Cricket Team lately. Dhawan features in the IPL as he leads the Punjab Kings as the skipper. But he has had a forgetful campaign as Dhawan has competed in just five matches for the PBKS throughout the IPL 2024 season. The Punjab-based IPL franchise exited early despite showcasing a valiant effort in the final few games. One competing in the final, the Punjab Kings is a struggling franchise, and without Dhawan, they landed at the number nine spot in the points table. Amid the slump, Dhawan has been talking about retirement, and he offered an update on when he intends to ride into the sunset.

Be it the Sunrisers Hyderabad, Delhi Capitals or the Punjab Kings, Shikhar Dhawan has had a solid run in the previous IPL seasons. However, 2023 had a slight slump, and he could not complete the 2024 season due to the injury he sustained.

In Dhawan's absence, Sam Curran led the side, and the Punjab Kings picked up some solid wins, but they could not power through as their trophyless stint continues.
