HIGHLIGHT
- Shikhar Dhawan, who scored 78 runs against SRH, did not opt for DRS even when he was not out
- Yuvraj Singh had made fun of Dhawan in his Twitter post on Sunday.
- Shikhar Dhawan has responded to Yuvraj Singh
Shikhar Dhawan is only the second player in the 2020 IPL season to have scored more than 600 runs. The figures are mind-boggling and even more so because he has also registered up to 4 ducks in the tournament so far.
The swashbuckling player created IPL history on the league stage by becoming the first hitter to crush hundreds in a row in the tournament.
In a must-win game for his team against Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 on Sunday, Shikhar Dhawan gave his team a solid start, breaking 78 of 50 balls and helping them score a whopping 189-run goal. The Delhi hitter could have ended up scoring more for himself and his team, but in a rather amusing incident, the hitter left the field even when he was not out and even when he had the option to opt for the DRS review.
Dhawan drew LBW on a full pitch thrown by pacemaker Sandeep Sharma in DC’s 19th inning. Dhawan was trying to take a reverse ramp shot when the ball hit his pad and he decided to pull away even before the referee could even lift his finger.
But as he returned, replays on the big screen showed that the ball had hit him off the line of the stump.
Dhawan had an embarrassed smile on his face as he walked back, while Yuvraj Singh immediately took to social media to poke fun at his former teammate.
This is what Yuvraj Singh tweeted

Shikhar Dhawan replied to Yuvraj Singh’s tweet and said, “Hahahha bro, I thought I was plumb and started walking when I reached the limit, then I knew I was not out.”
