IPL 2021: Shikhar Dhawan arrives at Delhi Capitals' team hotel in Mumbai, to undergo 7-day quarantine period

IPL 2021: The 35-year-old was in superb form in the recently-concluded ODI series against England, in which he scored two half centuries, and missed out on a hundred in the first ODI by just 2 runs

Delhi Capitals' opener Shikhar Dhawan arrived at the team hotel in Mumbai on Thursday, the franchise said in a statement. The left-hander will have to undergo a mandatory seven-day quarantine period as he had left the bubble to spend time with his family after the ODI series against England.

The 35-year-old was in superb form in the recently-concluded ODI series against England, in which he scored two half centuries, and missed out on a hundred in the first ODI by just 2 runs.

Dhawan also had a memorable season last year, in which he became the only player in the history of IPL to struck two back-to-back centuries. In 17 games, Dhawan smashed 618 runs at an average of 44.14 and a strike rate of 144.73.

Dhawan was one of the key reasons for DC's entry into the final in IPL 2020 in UAE, and Delhi fans will hope he can do the same wonders this season as well.
