IPL 2021: Shikhar Dhawan's Dramatic Reaction After Dawid Malan Escapes Dismissal | Watch Video

Shikhar Dhawan continues to entertain and amuse fans with his antics, providing a relief to everyone during a tense IPL 2021 clash between Delhi Capitals and Punjab Kings in Ahmedabad on Sunday.

Malan came into the side as replacement for for Nicolas Pooran, who was dropped after having an abysmal season so far. Although DC’s Axar Patel had him dismissed for run-a-ball 26, Malan earlier escaped close lbw call in the 10th over, when he missed his stroke trying to play one to the leg side.

Not happy with the umpire’s verdict, Rishabh Pant and his men opted for a review. However, ball-tracking showed the ball would have clipped the leg-stump meaning the on-field decision of not put was upheld.

This was when Dhawan dramatically grasped his chest like he was having a mini heart-attack, lamenting the turn of events that led to Malan’s escape from dismissal.
