Dhawan thereby joined an elite list, with RCB’s Virat Kohli and DC skipper David Warner being the only other batters with fifty half-centuries in the cash-rich league.

His half-century on Monday was his third in the IPL this season.

During the tournament, Dhawan had missed three matches after picking up a shoulder injury against Gujarat Titans on 13 April. Sam Curran had led Punjab Kings in Dhawan’s absence, and the India batter returned to action on 28 April against Lucknow Super Giants (LSG).

The 37-year-old has scored 349 runs from eight matches so far this season.
