Story highlights
IPL 2022: Shikhar Dhawan joined an elite club, becoming the first Indian with 1000-plus fours in T20 cricket during the PBKS-GT clash.
Shikhar Dhawan remains a big name in world cricket. Dhawan is one of the most prolific batters for Team India in white-ball formats. In his 15-year-long T20 career, after debuting for Delhi in 2007, the swashbuckling left-hander created history by becoming the first Indian player to hit 1000, or more, fours in T20 cricket.
Dhawan achieved this feat during his IPL franchise Punjab Kings' (PBKS) face-off versus Gujarat Titans (GT) in match 16 of the IPL 2022 edition, on Friday evening (April 8). Overall, he became the fifth player to join the elusive 1000-four club in the shortest format.
