Former Indian cricket team opener Shikhar Dhawan has retired. He bid farewell to cricket this year. However, he is still seen playing in the retired players’ T20 league. Recently he participated in Legends League Cricket i.e. LLC 2024 whose final match was played in Srinagar. After this tournament, Shikhar Dhawan is eager to play in the T20 league once again. Interestingly, this time he is going to be a part of such a league which will be organized in India’s neighboring country. Now you might be thinking that we are talking about Lanka Premier League or Bangladesh Premier League. If you think so then your assumption is not correct.
