Punjab Kings Suffer Shikhar Dhawan Blow, Captain Ruled Out For 7-10 Days | Cricket News

[ad_1] Punjab Kings skipper Shikhar Dhawan could be out for at least seven to 10 days due to a shoulder injury, the team's head of cricket development Sanjay Bangar indicated after the narrow loss to Rajasthan Royals.

[ad_1] Indian cricket team players in practice© AFPFormer Indian cricket team coach Sanjay Bangar believes that Devdutt Padikkal can make his debut during the fifth Test match against England in Dharamsala on Thursday.
