IPL: Shikhar Dhawan shifts to Delhi Daredevils

Hyderabad, Nov5 (IBNS): Indian openers Shikhar Dhawan will represent Delhi Daredevils in the upcoming edition of the Indian Premier League next year.

Sunrisers Hyderabad on Monday announced that it has sold the left-handed batsman to Delhi Daredevils.

Dhawan had represented Delhi in 2008.

The Hyderabad-based team said it has traded Shikhar Dhawan to Delhi Daredevils for Vijay Shankar, Shahbaz Nadeem and Abhishek Sharma.

"We have traded Shikhar Dhawan to Delhi Daredevils for Vijay Shankar, Shahbaz Nadeem and Abhishek Sharma. We thank Shikhar for his contribution to the team over the years and wish him the very best," the team tweeted.

Dhawan has been playing for Sunrisers for the past couple of seasons.

In a statement, Sunrisers further said: "It is with a heavy heart that we announce that one of our long standing players, Shikhar Dhawan, will be playing for another franchise in 2019. We were delighted to pick Shikhar up in the auction after using one of its RTM cards."
"Unfortunately, it has become apparent that the player has been unsettled ever since with the amount he was bought for in the auction, which we cannot rectify due to IPL rules. We value the great contribution that Shikhar has made over the years and saddened that due to financial reasons, he feels it's time to move on," the statement said.
