IPL 2018: RR vs SRH- Star players who can be the match-winners if they step-up for their franchises

Shikhar Dhawan

Shikhar Dhawan

Dhawan has been playing for the Sunrisers Hyderabad since 2013 and won the title with them in 2016. He has been a prolific scorer at the top-order over the years for the Orange army. Dhawan was retained by the Sunrisers using the RTM card for INR 5.2 crore at this year's auction. Dhawan, who has featured in six matches for the Sunrisers this season has scored 146 runs at a strike-rate of 136.44.

For a player who has scored above 3500 IPL runs, this start is a bit slow. Due to the absence of David Warner, Dhawan was expected to them a resounding start at the top. But, Gabbar is not at his usual best so far and he must raise his game in the game against Rajasthan to lay the platform for Sunrisers's innings.
