Already, it is confirmed that the English white-ball stars may not be available for the next season of SA20. Pakistan cricketers usually do not play in this league while the last part of BBL will mean that the Aussies may also be unavailable. At the same time, ILT20 will be happening too. Therefore, it will not be a surprise if SA20 teams look out for some recently retired Indians as overseas cricketers. They would be the best options in the market and at the same time, they will also draw Indian viewers. Shikhar Dhawan, who recently retired from Indian cricket, will be an option for some of the teams. He is a fine opener and comes in with a lot of experience. On that note, here, we take a look at the list of two teams which must target Shikhar Dhawan for SA20 2025.
1) Pretoria Capitals
Firstly, Shikhar Dhawan and the owners of Delhi Capitals seem to enjoy a good relationship. This could be an important factor if Pretoria has to target its former employee.
Plus, from a cricketing perspective, with the likes of Will Jacks at the top, the squad will need some experience. As an overseas player, Shikhar Dhawan can be a backup and can be a good choice to improve the bench strength.
2) Paarl Royals
Paarl Royals is one of the teams which must target Shikhar Dhawan for SA20 2025. The franchise recently signed Dinesh Karthik for the next season. They could follow a similar tactic to get a popular Indian in the squad.
The team has a solid middle-order comprising the likes of David Miller and Dinesh Karthik. Some experience at the top will be of great use. Here is where Shikhar Dhawan can be a fine choice for the team. His popularity, just like DK, will add more fans to the team.
