Wednesday proved to be a bad day for Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan in the 16th season of the Indian Premier League. Delhi Capitals defeated Punjab Kings by 15 runs and their chances of playing in the playoffs are almost over. With this, Shikhar Dhawan, who could not even open an account in this match, has joined the very shameful list.

It was their skipper Shikhar Dhawan who disappointed Punjab Kings the most in a crucial match. Chasing the target of 214 runs, Punjab Kings got a big blow after 1.1 overs. Captain Shikhar Dhawan fell victim to a golden duck on the very first ball of the second over. With this golden duck, Shikhar Dhawan became the second highest wicket-taker in IPL history.

Parthiv Patel holds the record for most ducks by an opener in IPL. Parthiv Patel has been dismissed for zero 11 times. After this, the names of Gautam Gambhir and Ajinkya Rahane come in this list. Both these players returned to the pavilion after being ducked 10-10 times. Now Dhawan has also been entered in this list. Dhawan has also been dismissed 10 times as an opener.

Dhawan accepted his mistake

After the match, Punjab Kings captain Shikhar Dhawan has accepted his mistake. Dhawan feels that he made a big mistake by bowling the spinner in the last over. Due to this mistake of Dhawan, Delhi Capitals could only score 23 runs in the last over. Dhawan admitted that it was because of this difference that Punjab Kings had to face defeat. After the defeat of Punjab Kings, the playoff race has become more exciting. Punjab Kings are now out of the race, while CSK’s worries have increased. If Delhi beats CSK then Mumbai Indians and RCB can get playoff tickets.
