On Tuesday in the match between RCB and DC, we witnessed a great sportsmanship spirit in match by Prithvi Shaw. He started to walk back even though the umpire gave not out to him. By this, he became the first walker of this season.

Actually in the 8th over of the match when Purple Cap holder Harshal Patel came to bowl Prithvi Shaw was looking good. But unfortunately in the second bowl of the over Harshal bowled a short delivery outside off, Shaw wanted to cut but got an outside edge.
