IPL 2022 updates and records: Shikhar Dhawan has set a new record

Shikhar Dhawan, batting for the Punjab Kings, passed the 6000-run milestone in the Indian Premier League (IPL) during a match against the Chennai Super Kings on Monday. 

After Virat Kohli, Dhawan is only the second hitter to achieve the feat. Dhawan has had an ordinary IPL 2022 season thus far, scoring 214 runs in seven games. 

Dhawan also passed the 9000-run milestone in Twenty20 cricket in the same match, becoming the third Indian to do so after Kohli and India skipper Rohit Sharma.

In the cash-rich competition, Dhawan has also hit the most boundaries (675). He's also the second-highest scorer in the IPL with 45 fifties, trailing only David Warner's 52. 

With the T20 World Cup coming up later this year in Australia, Dhawan will be looking to build a name for himself by constantly being among the runs. Dhawan has scored 500 runs or more in every edition of the IPL since the 2019 tournament.
