<p>"It's great to be back. There's a great environment within the team. All the boys are working very hard and I am looking forward to the IPL season. I am very excited to play the upcoming matches," stated Dhawan in an official release.</p>

<p>"It's very important to start on a high note. We need to do well from the first match itself and therefore we are working very hard for our first match against Sunrisers Hyderabad. We have to bring our hard work into effect during matches and produce great results," said Dhawan.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Dhawan gave a special mention to DC's star batsman Shreyas Iyer, who missed the first leg of the season due to injury, as he said that the squad is, even more, stronger for the second half of the season with Iyer returning to the side.&nbsp;</p>

<p>"We were in a certain flow in the first half of the season and then that flow was broken once the tournament was suspended. So we have to rebuild our energy and get back on the flow we were in. The good thing is that our team is well balanced and Shreyas Iyer is back in the side as well, so our team is even stronger now," said Dhawan.&nbsp;</p>
