IPL-17 | Shikhar is undergoing rehab: PBKS spin-bowling coach Sunil Joshi

Punjab Kings' captain Shikhar Dhawan undergoes rehab for shoulder injury, as team struggles in IPL 2024.
Punjab Kings' influential skipper Shikhar Dhawan is currently undergoing rehabilitation after suffering a shoulder injury, the team's spin-bowling coach Sunil Joshi said on Wednesday.
Sam Curran stood in as Punjab Kings captain in Dhawan's absence in their match against Rajasthan Royals.
While he is set to miss Thursday's match against Mumbai Indians here, Dhawan also remains doubtful for the April 21 game against Gujarat Titans.
"Regarding Shikhar, the medical team will update. As for now, he is under rehab," Joshi said at the pre-match press conference.
Dhawan hasn't had a great time with the bat in IPL 2024, but is still Kings' highest run-getter currently with 152 runs from five innings, scoring at a strike rate of 125.61.
Joshi also said it's high time the top-order batters find their groove and lift the team that is struggling at the seventh place with just two wins and four losses.
The only bright spot for PBKS this season has been resolute displays from their unsung Indian players Shashank Singh and Ashutosh Sharma, who both bat lower in the order and have had to make up for the shortcomings at the top more than once.
