In the second match of IPL 2021 – DC vs CSK, the opening pair gave a boost to the Delhi Capitals’ innings. Openers Prithvi Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan posted good runs on the board with the talented young opener from Mumbai scoring a fifty.
Nothing going the CSK way for now. Bad fielding and many catches-drop gives more hope to Delhi Capitals to win. Prithvi Shaw gets to his 7th IPL fifty with a boundary off 27 deliveries.
138 off just 81 🔥

Prithvi Shaw hits four and completed his fifty. He’s riding his luck and making the most of it. Came firing off the blocks but has been given a couple of reprieves in the last few overs. This was on the shorter side and Shaw executes the pull perfectly this time, hits it in front of square and well wide of Gaikward at deep mid-wicket and goes for four. Prithvi Shaw goes big too but gets another lifeline as Ruturaj Gaikwad drops one in the deep.
Alexa, please find me some new puns on @PrithviShaw 😌#YehHaiNayiDilli #IPL2021 #CSKvDC pic.twitter.com/ejXGL115m4

Shikhar Dhawan also gets to his half-century from 35 balls. Shardul Thakur has been unimpressive so far. This duo is playing fearlessly making this run chase look like a cakewalk. This would be nightmare for CSK fans.
Blazed to 5️⃣0️⃣ 💥

And Prithvi gets back to pavilion with 72 runs in 38 balls. Moeen Ali caught the ball hit by Prithvi. This is the Bravo who took the first wicket of DC and may slow down the pace of Delhi Capitals.
He came, he put on a show, he left 💙
Prithvi is out for 72 off just 38 balls. What an innings 🙌#YehHaiNayiDilli #IPL2021 #CSKvDC pic.twitter.com/xQat45LA1b
