The incident occurred during the Maharashtra vs Delhi encounter in Syed Mushtaq Ali Trophy 2019 in Surat. Delhi, asked to bat first, made 167-5 in 20 overs despite Dhawan only contributing 24 runs. Nitish Rana later took 4/17 as Delhi bundled Maharashtra for just 90 runs to secure a 77-run victory. Dhawan is now expected to be out for at least 4-5 days following the injury.
