While playing for M.S. Dhoni in 2016, the seam-bowling all-rounder made his debut in one-day internationals (in Australia) and Twenty20 Internationals (in Zimbabwe), however,r he was only able to participate in one series for each format. Dhawan claims that he has been in communication with the selectors and is searching for methods to enhance his performance in the batting and bowling sectors.
In 2013, Dhawan made his debut in the Indian Premier League (IPL) with Mumbai Indians. Subsequently, he moved on to play with Punjab Kings, who were formerly known as Kings XI Punjab. Up to 2016, he participated in 26 Indian Premier League games, however,r he did not have much of an effect. The Punjab franchise got him up once again in 2022 after a significant amount of time had passed, but he continued to provide performances that were not particularly noteworthy.
The Punjab Kings (PBKS) will play their last match of the season in the Indian Premier League 2023 on May 19 at the Himachal Pradesh Cricket Association stadium in Dharamsala. The match will be between the Punjab Kings and the Rajasthan Royals (RR). The side that Shikhar Dhawan was leading suffered a defeat at the hands of DC in their most recent match in Dharamsala. For them to have any chance of making it into the playoffs, they need to accomplish not just winning their last game but also having other outcomes fall in their favor.
The current Indian Premier League season has seen PBKS win six of their thirteen matches while losing seven of them. In their first two matches, the team led by Trevor Bayliss was victorious against the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Rajasthan Royals. However, in their succeeding matches, they lost to the Sunrisers Hyderabad and the Gujarat Titans. In the subsequent match, which took place in Lucknow, PBKS prevailed against LSG by a margin of two wickets. PBKS then suffered a setback at the hands of RCB in Mohali, but they made a tremendous comeback to triumph against MI at the Wankhede.
