What's the story

The law of averages doesn't appear to perturb Shikhar Dhawan in the ongoing IPL season.

Just like the previous game, the Delhi Capitals opener has slammed his second century of the IPL.

Notably, he has become the first-ever cricketer to have smashed tons in two consecutive games.

During the game, he also became the fifth cricketer to complete 5,000 IPL runs.

All-time list

Dhawan enters the 5,000-run club

During the innings, Dhawan also entered an elite club of veterans.

He became the fifth cricketer and fourth from India to have completed 5,000 runs in the IPL.

Dhawan is now only behind Virat Kohli (5,759), Suresh Raina (5,368), and Rohit Sharma (5,158) on the all-time runs tally.

Notably, he is presently among the top-five run-scorers this season.

Lowest first-innings total to contain an individual IPL ton

Although Dhawan made his outing memorable, others didn't compliment him well from the other end.

As a result, the DC mustered only 164/5 at the end of the first innings.

This has become the lowest first-innings total to contain an individual IPL ton (Dhawan).
