A fighting knock from Shikhar Dhawan under pressure as he takes down the rampaging SRH bowlers to take his team PBKS from a crisis to a comparatively comfortable score.
Hyderabad, Apr 9: Skipper Shikhar Dhawan slammed an unbeaten 99 off 66 balls to singlehandedly take Punjab Kings to 143 for nine against Sunrisers Hyderabad in their IPL match here on Sunday. Dhawan played a lone hand, hitting 12 fours and five sixes, while Sam Curran (22) was the other batter to reach double digit, as other PBKS batters cut a sorry figure after being asked to take first strike.

Brief Scores:
