Fans are eagerly waiting for the announcement of the IPL 2024 schedule. According to reports, the upcoming season may start on March 22. Many cricketers have started their preparations for this, including the name of Shikhar Dhawan.
Dhawan will lead the Punjab Kings this time, too. Considering his performance last season, the franchise retained him before the mini-auction. Indian batsman Dhawan was last seen in action in IPL 2023.
At the same time, he played his last international match in December 2022, after which he was dropped from the team and did not return. However, the experienced left-handed batsman has continued his training and has not given up hope of a comeback.
