IPL 2024: At the age of 38, Shikhar Dhawan is all set to lead the Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2024 season. Under the captaincy of Dhawan, Punjab finished eighth in the ten-team IPL 2023.
Punjab Kings haven’t won the coveted IPL trophy till date. Numerous captains including KL Rahul, Yuvraj Singh, Adam Gilchrist and Virender Sehwag have led the franchise in the past, but the silverware has eluded them time and again.
Shikhar Dhawan would be aiming to end the title drought this season. In a recent interview the veteran opener made it clear that his focus is to win the trophy for Punjab Kings.
“The focus is to help Punjab Kings get the trophy and follow a strong process and preparation along the way,” Dhawan recently told New18.
Dhawan missed out a few matches last season. Considering that, the Delhi-born batter isn’t even playing domestic cricket, his fitness would also be in focus. There have been occasions in the IPL when captains have been sacked midway through the seasons.
