The opener batter of the Indian team and current skipper of Punjab Kings needs to replicate what he did for his past franchise, Delhi Capitals (DC). 

The PBKS have won two games in a row. But still, they need Gabbar to fire. DC (Delhi Capitals) reached their maiden final in IPL 2020 season and Dhawan had a significant role to play in that. 

He had smashed two back-to-back centuries in that season and he is the only player to achieve this feat. Those centuries were scored against Chennai Super Kings and his current franchise Punjab Kings.

4. Hashim Amla (2 Centuries)
