As the IPL 2023 season is approaching the Punjab Kings are one team that have not been able to get their act together since the last 15 years and the number of captains they have changed have been more than the actual playing 11 for most other teams and their management is one of the worst in the IPL.
IPL 2023 brings with it new hope and new opportunities for Punjab Kings and their new captain Shikhar Dhawan who will look to win the first IPL title for the team that has been trying for the last 15 years.
So, let’s talk about Shikhar Dhawan and whether he can lead them to their first IPL title:
Shikhar Dhawan The Captain
This is a very interesting choice for a captain of an IPL team because he has not led many matches for a team and to suddenly be given the responsibility of leading this side is a new challenge and he will be looking forward to the opportunity. Shikhar Dhawan has been removed from the Indian ODI team and he has been replaced by Shubman Gill who has done wonders in all formats of the game and it is looking very unlikely that Shikhar Dhawan will get a chance back In the Indian team. This could be a huge opportunity for him to show what he is all about and show his captaincy skills.
Shikhar Dhawan The Batter
Shikhar Dhawan the Batter will also want to show everyone that he has not lost it and as captain he will put himself at the top of the order where he will have the best chance of scoring lots of runs and he will be determined to show the Indian team management that he should be considered for the Indian team for the World Cup which will be held in India only and the IPL will be held across 12 venues in India so that will be the perfect audition for him.
