Shikhar Dhawan will play for Punjab Kings this time too and if there is no major change then he will also captain. Shikhar Dhawan has been playing for Punjab Kings since last year. After his release from Delhi Capitals, he went to Punjab Kings. In the first season, he played under the captaincy of Mayank Agarwal and after that, in the next season, Mayank Agarwal was released and the captaincy was handed over to Shikhar Dhawan.
