Dhawan could have saved his wicket had he challenged the LBW decision of umpire.
Delhi Capitals (DC) batsman Shikhar Dhawan's good form was on display against Sunrisers Hyderabad (SRH) on Sunday. Dhawan has crossed the 600-run mark in IPL 2020 and his 78-run innings against SRH was the fourth fifty in the tournament this year.
Dhawan, who already has two hundred in IPL 13, batted with good intent before getting dismissed by SRH pacer Sandeep Sharma. But the southpaw could have avoided his dismissal by opting for DRS as the replay suggested the umpire got the decision wrong.
The innings might have ended with more runs, but his decision to walk away without challenging the decision surprised everyone.
Yuvraj Singh posted a tweet after the match and lauded Dhawan's innings and also questioned why didn't he go for DRS?

Dhawan replied to the tweet and said he thought the ball was going to hit the stump. “Hahahah pajhi mainu lag gya plumb hai tah muuh chuk chal paya jadh boundary tey pahuncha tadh pata lag gya,” Dhawan wrote in Punjabi.
Delhi Capitals posted 189/3 in 20 overs in the first innings. Their bowlers, Kagiso Rabada took four wickets and Marcus Stoinis bagged three wickets to defeat SRH by 17 runs.
