The IPL 2024 become one more day older. In a blockbuster Sunday, Gujarat Titans is facing Punjab Kings. In the last match, PBKS suffered a blow as they faced a defeat against Mumbai Indians. As they headed against Gujarat Titans, they suffered another blow. Shikhar Dhawan is missing this game too. In this article, we will find the reason behind his absence. Find out why Shikhar Dhawan is missing from today’s IPL 2024 clash against GT.
Dhawan’s Injury:
Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan is currently undergoing rehabilitation following a shoulder injury sustained during the team’s match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. As a result of the injury, Dhawan was unable to participate in the subsequent game against Rajasthan Royals and also missed the match against Mumbai Indians. His absence at their newly inaugurated home venue left a notable void, leading to English all-rounder Sam Curran stepping in as the stand-in skipper.
The injury to Dhawan has prompted concerns among the Punjab Kings’ camp, as his leadership and batting prowess have been crucial for the team’s performance. With Curran taking charge in Dhawan’s absence, the team faced additional pressure to maintain their momentum and cohesion on the field.
Dhawan is Missing Out on This Game Too:
In the 37th match of the IPL 2024, Punjab Kings locked horns with Gujarat Titans at Mullanpur. Dhawan has still not recovered from the injury and missing out on this game against Gujarat Titans. In the absence of him, Sam Curran is leading from the front. Even against Gujarat Titans, he is leading the team.
After winning the toss, Sam Curran updated about the injury. He said, “We are gonna bat first. Third time we have used this pitch, excited to put pressure on the Gujarat bowlers first up and put a good score on the board. Any team can beat anyone. We know if we turn up with right plans and attitude we can win. It’s about our overseas players taking more responsibility and helping the Indian players. Shikhar is still not alright, same team.”
