IPL 2023: Punjab Kings overly dependent on Shikhar Dhawan, feels Harbhajan Singh

Firstpost  

Punjab Kings have been overly dependent on skipper Shikhar Dhawan for runs so far in the 2023 Indian Premier League and other players will have to step up if they want to challenge for the title, feels former India off-spinner Harbhajan Singh. IPL 2023: Full coverage | Points table | Schedule | Results | Orange Cap | Purple Cap​ Dhawan has been the leading run-scorer for the side by a fair distance so far this season; while the skipper has collected 233 runs at an average of 116.5, the next highest run-scorer for the side is Prabhsimran Singh with 81 runs. “The Punjab side seems is largely dependent on their captain Shikhar Dhawan in the batting department which is a concern,” Harbhajan told Star Sports Cricket Live. The rest of Punjab players will have to support their captain and take responsibility if they wish to go forward.” Harbhajan also heaped praise on Kolkata Knight Riders batter Venkatesh Iyer, who slammed the first IPL century for his franchise in 15 years, after Brendon McCullum.
