Shikhar Dhawan Scripts IPL History With Back-To-Back Centuries

Dubai: Shikhar Dhawan scripted history at the Dubai International Cricket Stadium on Tuesday evening, becoming the first batsman in the Indian Premier League (IPL) to smash back-to-back centuries.

The left-handed opener carried his bat through the innings, remaining unbeaten with 106 off just 61 deliveries. He hit 12 fours and 3 sixes to guide Delhi Capitals to 164 for 5 against Kings XI Punjab. That Dhawan alone scored 64% of Delhi Capitals’ runs suggests the dominance of the India southpaw.

During the course of his knock, Dhawan passed another milestone – 5,000 runs in the world’s most popular and competitive T20 league.

Three nights ago, Dhawan had struck an unbeaten 101 off 58 balls at Sharjah to help Delhi Capitals beat Chennai Super Kings by 5 wickets.
