IPL 2020: 5 last year heroes who have been duds in this season
They have played poor cricket in the first few games of the tournament. And if they continue their bad run of form, then they might also be axed from their respective sides.
2. Shikhar Dhawan
Seeing the Delhi Capitals at top of the points table is just so refreshing. What’s more exciting is that this team can go the distance if they continue this brand of cricket for the rest of the season. They have all the bases covered. And barring Shikhar Dhawan, all the players are playing their role to perfection.
The established opener of the Indian team is looking out of sorts in IPL 2020. Shikhar has been far away from his usual best, as he is struggling to get going in each of his innings. His run rate of 122 while opening the innings is a fair reflection of his patchy form. Even when his partner, Prithvi Shaw has played the role of aggressor, the southpaw has failed to complement him.
He is consuming too many deliveries upfront and then gets out without adding anything substantial to the scoreboard. Though it hasn’t hurt the team, he should understand that he is the senior-most batsmen of the side, and he cannot bog down the team with his below-par performances. A total of 127 runs in 5 games is not the kind of number one expects from a player who has scored 450 plus runs in each of the last four seasons.
