The Gabbar of the Indian cricket team, Shikhar Dhawan has tried his luck with many franchises. The 33-year-old started his journey with Delhi Capitals and was the third leading run-scorer for them at the end of the tournament. Despite his decent season, in 2009, the left-handed batsman was traded to Mumbai Indians in the exchange for Ashish Nehra.

He represented Mumbai Indians for two consecutive seasons but failed to make an impact. Sunrisers Hyderabad brought him in 2013 and was handed captaincy in 2014. However, Darren Sammy took over the captaincy midway through the tournament.

In 2016, his dream turned into reality as Sunrisers Hyderabad lifted IPL title for the first time. Shikhar Dhawan played a major role with his skipper David Warner as openers. He was the second leading run-getter for the franchise with 501 runs to his name at an average of 38.53.

Ahead of the 12th season, Dhawan was traded back to Delhi Capitals in exchange of Shahbaz Nadeem, Vijay Shankar, and Abhishek Sharma.
