Impact on Punjab Kingsโ€™ Performance:

Shikhar Dhawanโ€™s absence is a significant blow to Punjab Kings, as he has been the highest run-scorer for the team in IPL 2024 so far. His contributions with the bat have been instrumental in Punjabโ€™s performances, and his absence will create a void in the teamโ€™s batting lineup. With only two wins out of six matches, Punjab Kings are already facing challenges this season, and Dhawanโ€™s injury further complicates their campaign. The team will need other players to step up and fill the void left by Dhawanโ€™s absence if they are to improve their performance and climb up the points table in the remaining matches of the tournament.
