Kings XI Punjab captain Ravichandran Ashwin tried to repeat what he had done to Jos Buttler, on Shikhar Dhawan, but the Indian opening left-handed batsman was alert about Ashwin's intentions and responded by dancing on the next ball.

In a match between Kings XI Punjab and Delhi Capitals in the IPL 2019, Shikhar Dhawan was going great guns in the chase of Punjab's 164-run target. During Dhawan's match-winning partnership with Delhi Capitals captain Shreyas Iyer, KXIP captain Ravichandran Ashwin tried to again change the course of the match by mankading Shikhar Dhawan.
