Punjab Kings had an ideal begin of their Indian Premier League (IPL) 2023 sport towards Rajasthan Royals in Guwahati on Wednesday. Prabhsimran Singh scored a 34-ball 60 as PBKS cruised. After Prabhsimran departed within the tenth over, PBKS’ Sri Lankan recruit Bhanuka Rajapaksa arrived on the crease. But he might final just one ball die to an odd purpose. In the eleventh over, Dhawan slammed a tough shot off Ravichandran Ashwin and the ball hit the forearm of Rajapaksa’s proper hand. The SL batter seemed to be in ache and left the sphere.

Shikhar Dhawan‘s shot straight went to hit Bhanuka Rajapaksa on his forearm on the fitting hand.
