Not all is well in the life of Shikhar Dhawan. An injury had ruled him out of the T20Is and ODIs in New Zealand, he had already lost his place in the Test side and now it appears he may miss the start of IPL 2020.
Reports in Times Now say he is out for 10 weeks which means he will miss the first half of the IPL. This is bad news for Delhi Capitals.?
¡°An MRI of his shoulder was conducted, and the results have confirmed a grade II injury of his acromio-clavicular joint. His hand will be in a sling and he has been advised rest for some time. He will start his active rehab management in the first week of February at the National Cricket Academy,¡± said BCCI in a statement.?
Team India coach Ravi Shastri was also unhappy that Dhawan was missing out.?
"Very sad because he is a senior player. He is a match-winner. When someone suffers an injury of that sort, everyone is hurt in the team," he said.?
Dhawan sustained his injury while fielding vs Australia in the 3rd ODI. He was taken for tests and did not return to field. KL Rahul opened the innings with Rohit Sharma in his absence.?
