Shikhar Dhawan was adjudged the Man of the Match in the 11th match of the IPL 2021 between Delhi Capitals & Punjab Kings. Dhawan scored 92 runs, with 2 sixes and 13 boundaries, in 49 balls. After winning the award Dhawan said, "I knew I have to improve on that (strike rate). Started taking more risks. Not afraid of changes, always open towards it. Not scared of getting out as well. Have worked on a few shots. My slog shot has improved a lot. It was there earlier as well, but now I play it more freely.”

“I’m more relaxed, having played for so many years. Don't take things for granted. Great opening with Prithvi. Happy with the way he played today and scored those 30-40 runs.”
