T20 World Cup 2022: Team-wise players who were hit in IPL 2022 but couldn't make it to national squad
Some of the cricketers who played really well in the IPL 2022 season failed to make it to their national squad for the upcoming T20 World Cup.
6. Shikhar Dhawan - Punjab Kings
Shikhar Dhawan has been a run machine in the Indian Premier League. He has scored runs for fun and is the second in the list of top-run getters of all time as far as the lucrative T20 tournament is concerned. The southpaw has accumulated a total of 6244 runs in 206 games at a strike rate of 126.35.
Dhawan had an excellent outing for the Punjab Kings in IPL 2022 as he scored 460 runs at a strike rate of 122.67. The ace batter was a rock at the top of the order and was excellent in shepherding the innings for his side. The India batter was tasked to hold the innings together in a power-packed Punjab line-up and he did it really well.
Despite his consistent performances in IPL, Dhawan has failed to make a comeback to India’s T20 setup. The 36-year-old is still a preferred opener in 50-overs cricket for India but KL Rahul’s exponential rise in the shortest format has kept the 36-year-old out of the side.
