IPL 2023: Shikhar Dhawan's batting display in the 14th game of the IPL is essential viewing to understand what a solitary struggle on the cricket field is like. The Sunrisers Hyderabad and Punjab Kings teams competed in this match, which was hosted in Hyderabad. SRH choose to bowl after winning the toss.
The SRH bowler initially shocked the Punjab Kings, who entered the match hoping to amass a sizable sum. The Punjab squad made an effort to recover after losing 3 wickets for 23 runs. However, the innings were over after losing 9 wickets for a total of 88 runs.
But the only player who stood like a rock on one side of the crease was opener Shikhar Dhawan. Dhawan confidently faced the SRH spinners and kept adding runs. As a result, the team total for Punjab Kings went over 100.
Even though Mohit Rathi, the final batsman, came to the crease in the 16th over, Shikhar Dhawan only had two hits. Shikhar Dhawan thus played the last role.
To get Dhawan's wicket, SRH captain Aiden Markram employed numerous ploys, but they failed. The peak persisted, however. In his last wicket, he scored 55 runs. Shikhar Dhawan's contribution of 54 runs out of these 55 runs makes it noteworthy.
Additionally, he increased the team's score to 143 by launching a big six off the last ball of the last over. Dhawan hit five enormous sixes and 12 fours in his unbeaten 99-run innings off just 66 balls.
With this incredible fifty-run performance, Shikhar Dhawan shattered Virat Kohli's unique record. Shikhar Dhawan has moved up to second place on the list of IPL players with the second-highest average of 50+ runs.
By collecting 50+ scores 50 times, Virat Kohli formerly held the second-place spot on this chart. With his half-century against SRH, Dhawan has already passed King Kohli in the rankings.
Over the course of 208 IPL games, Shikhar Dhawan has scored 50+ 51 times. 2 centuries and 49 1950s are included in this. He has now surpassed 50 runs in the IPL, becoming the first Indian player to do so.
In terms of records, David Warner is at the top. Warner has scored at least 50 runs 61 times in 165 IPL innings. Shikhar Dhawan's emergence at number two on this ranking is noteworthy.
