Rishi Dhawan made his Indian Premier League comeback in yesterday’s match against Chennai Super Kings after 6 years and was able to impress with his bowling as he took two impressive wickets - Shivam Dube and MS Dhoni.
According to various reports, Dhawan was wearing the face shield as he recently underwent surgery for the nose injury that he suffered during Ranji Trophy.
Punjab Kings shared a video where talking about the injury and missing out on the initial matches of the ongoing season, Dhawan said, "I am making an IPL comeback after four years so it was a little disheartening when I got injured in the Ranji Trophy. I had to go through surgery which ruled me out of the first four matches, but I'm totally fine and available for selection now."
He added, "I tried continuously for three-four years to make a comeback so I was a little scared wondering whether I would miss out on playing due to my injury. But this happens in cricket."
