Shikhar Dhawan played for Delhi Capitals in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League. Dhawan performed well with the bat and scored 340 runs in 14 matches. Despite his good performance, he was released from his contract the following year. This decision proved to be costly for the Delhi Capitals.

He went on to play for Mumbai Indians and Sunrisers Hyderabad were he performed considerably well. Currently, he is the 6th highest run scorer in the league with 4058 runs in 143 matches.

When you consider Delhi Capitals’ lack of a proper opening combination, they should’ve held on to Shikhar Dhawan as he could’ve been a useful opener for them. The southpaw is back with Delhi for the 2019 IPL season.
