On Thursday’s doubleheader evening match between the Kolkata Knight Riders and the Delhi Capitals here at Narendra Modi stadium. The Delhi Capitals led by Rishabh Pant won the toss and chose to bowl first.
Both teams desperately need a win as the season advances with CSK and RCB constantly fighting at the top of the points table.
Delhi Capitals bowlers made some serious damage to the Kolkata Knight Riders batting order as they managed to destroy their opening order but Shubham Gill came in as the savior for the team today as he played an amazing innings scoring 43 runs to get the team to a stable score which was then followed by Andre Russell who scored 45 runs in the climax quickly and destructively taking the team’s total to 154 runs in 20 overs.
Chasing a score of 155, the Delhi Capitals openers have gotten off with what has been the season’s strongest start for the team with Pruthvi Shaw smashing 6 boundaries for Shivam Mavi to start the innings.
On the other hand, Shikhar Dhawan is playing amazing cricket as he takes the supportive role to facilitate Shaw’s batting.
Amidst the match a funny moment between Shikhar Dhawan and wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik was witnessed when Shikar Dhawan failed to connect the ball for Varun Chakravarty’s delivery, as the ball went straight to Dinesh Karthik he immediately whips the bails, and even when Dhawan was very well inside the crease, noticing that Karthik screamed “howzat” for which Shikhar Dhawan reacted in the bending down in his knees like a small kid.
