The senior Indian batsman was in fine touch for his side in the fourteenth season of the cash-rich league. He was the leading run-scorer before the season was halted due to multiple COVID-19 cases in the bio-bubbles of various franchises.
Dhawan was the Orange Cap holder with 380 runs from eight matches at an impressive average of 54.28 and a remarkable strike rate of over 134 before the league was suspended. While scoring these runs, the 35-year-old also became the second-highest run-getter in IPL history. Dhawan has 5577 runs to his name in 184 matches, and he is right behind Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) skipper Virat Kohli, who has 6076 runs to his credit from 199 games.
Speaking about the Capitals, they were at the top spot in the points table before the season was postponed. The Rishabh Pant-led side won 6 out of 8 matches and has a net run rate (NRR) of 0.547 – second best after Chennai Super Kings (+1.263).
