In match no. 10 of VIVO IPL 2021, Delhi Capitals close out Punjab Kings by 6 wickets in a high-scoring chase. It was Shikha Dhawan’s herculean effort, that made the target of 196, look small. Shikhar Dhawan, the stalwart opener seemed to be soaring in all confidence with his bat at the moment with super quality innings.
After the knock, he had an interview in which he said, “It was a conscious effort from my side. I knew I have to improve on that (strike rate). Started taking more risks. Not afraid of changes, always open towards it. Not scared of getting out as well. Have worked on a few shots. My slog shot has improved a lot. It was there earlier as well, but now I play it more freely. I’m more relaxed, having played for so many years. Don’t take things for granted. Great opening with Prithvi. Happy with the way he played today and scored those 30-40 runs,”
In 3 matches of IPL 2021, Shikhar Dhawan has scored 186 runs with a strike rate of 164, averaging 62. He alongside, Prithvi Shaw has been consistently performing for Delhi Capitals.
