I’m eager to regroup with my cricketing friends and continue to entertain my fans as we create new memories together.”

Raman Raheja, Co-founder of LLC, welcomed Dhawan’s addition to the league. “We are thrill to have Shikhar Dhawan join us. His experience and flair will undoubtedly enhance the competition and entertain fans. We look forward to seeing him in action alongside other cricket legends.
