Having missed the first two weeks of the Indian Premier League due to a fractured hand, Sunrisers Hyderabad batsman Shikhar Dhawan is hoping to return to action “very soon” and is awaiting a clearance from the NCA.
The 27-year-old left-handed batsman is back in India after spending time with his family in Melbourne.
Sunrisers coach, Tom Moody, tweeted, “we are hopeful it’s within the next 10 days.”
Dhawan suffered the injury during the Mohali Test against Australia last month. That was his debut game and he shot to prominence with a record-breaking 187 -- the fastest by a debutant in Test history.
Dhawan was ruled out for six weeks after sustaining the injury. “Hopefully, I will be able to take the field soon. I just have to get the clearance from NCA. It will be soon, very soon,” he had said before leaving for Australia.
