PBKS vs SRH LIVE: Not Suresh Raina, Graeme Swann names ‘AMAZING’ Shikhar Dhawan as MR IPL
Former England cricketer Graeme Swann praised Punjab Kings’ star opener, Shikhar Dhawan, in the ongoing IPL 2022. Swann feels Dhawan has started roaring with his bat for his new franchise and it is simply fascinating to see ‘Vintage Dhawan’ play some of his trademark shots.
Swann went as far as dubbing Shikhar Dhawan as “MR IPL” for his record in the league. Speaking on Cricket Live on Star Sports, the former English spinner said, “Clearly he’s in a form of his life. I mean he’s been playing a pink suit gear dog in the TATA IPL. I mean he is Mr. IPL (for me) and I love watching every minute of him bat like that (when he’s in his elements).”
For years, Suresh Raina has been dubbed as the Mi IPL for his consistency in the league over the years. However, the sun has set on the former CSK star’s IPL career, with the 35-year-old going unsold in the IPL 2022 auction.

Swann continued his praise for the Indian veteran lauding the wide range of shots he possesses in his repertoire, the former England spinner claimed that we are seeing ‘Vintage Dhawan’ in the TATA IPL 2022.
“As soon as Shikhar Dhawan plays a shot over extra cover for a six early on in his innings, you know he’s in for a good time. And these are some vintage Shikhar Dhawan shots. He’s brilliant down the ground, brilliant over the square, that little ramp over the top, a flick to the leg side. He’s amazing.”
