Shikhar Dhawan, the renowned Indian opener, has embarked on a new chapter in his cricketing journey. Following his retirement from international cricket on Saturday, Dhawan has joined the Legends League Cricket (LLC). This move allows the 38-year-old left-handed batsman to participate in T20 competitions beyond the Indian Premier League.
Dhawan expressed his enthusiasm for this new venture, stating, “My body is still conditioned for the demands of the game, and while I’m at ease with my decision, cricket is an inseparable part of who I am, it will never go out of me.” He added, “I am eager to regroup with my cricketing friends and continue to entertain my fans as we create new memories together.”
Dhawan’s illustrious international career saw him amass an impressive 12,286 runs across 34 Tests, 167 ODIs, and 68 T20Is. His arrival in the Legends League Cricket is sure to add a significant dose of experience and entertainment to the tournament. The LLC is scheduled to be held in September, and Dhawan’s participation promises to attract a large audience.
