Wasn’t Aware Of The Back-To-Back IPL Centuries Record: Shikhar Dhawan

Mumbai: Delhi Capitals opener Shikhar Dhawan became the first player to score back-to-back centuries in the IPL, the DC batsman said he wasn’t aware of the record he created.

Shikhar Dhawan’s unbeaten innings of 106 guided the Delhi Capitals to 164/5 in the twenty overs scheduled against KXIP. Left-handed Dhawan also became the first cricketer to score back-to-back centuries in the IPL.

“I didn’t know (when he was asked if he knew that he was the first person to score back-to-back tons in the IPL. Today, it’s been that way that no one can live with me). I took the responsibility of holding one end up and was also hitting the boundaries when I got the chance,” said Dhawan.

Kings XI Punjab chased down the target comfortably with the help of Nicholas Pooran and Glenn Maxwell who played knocks of 53 and 32 respectively.
