In the 38th match of IPL 2022, Punjab Kings registered their fourth win of the season by defeating Chennai Super Kings by 11 runs with the help of their pace quartet. In the match played at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai on Monday, the team Punjab landed with three major changes. Punjab, giving strength to their fast bowling attack, gave Sandeep Sharma and Rishi Dhawan a chance in this match. Rishi Dhawan, who hails from Himachal Pradesh, came out to play for the first time in the season. But when he came to bowl, the mask on his face caught everyone’s attention. In such a situation, everyone wanted to know what and why Dhawan applied this to his face.

Dhawan played his first match of the season on Monday against Chennai. But when he came out to bowl, he put on a fiber mask on his face to protect his nose and avoid any kind of injury. Dhawan bowled brilliantly in this match and also took two wickets. 32-year-old Rishi first bowled Shivam Dubey and then sent Dhoni to the pavilion in the last over. Apart from this, he also defended 27 runs in front of Dhoni and Jadeja in the last over.

Dhawan had been informed about his injury before the match. In the video shared by Punjab Kings, he said that now he is completely fine and ready to play. “It was disappointing to have a Ranji injury after returning to the IPL after four years. This led him to miss the first four matches with a nose injury. But now I am fine and ready to play,” he said. “
