Dhawan showed his strategic brilliance right from the beginning, leading from the front. His impressive field placements and smart tactical decisions played a key role in restricting the Hyderabad batting lineup. Despite scoring a modest 21 runs, Dhawan's innings highlighted his trademark power and impeccable timing. Notably, a quick flurry of boundaries against Nuwan Pradeep underscored his ability to change the game's momentum and keep the opposition on their toes.
