Dubai: In the Delhi Capitals’ win over Chennai Super Kings, the young opener Prithvi Shaw said that his plan was to play field shots to avoid ‘stupid mistakes’. He could not impress in the opening match against Kings XI Punjab and was dismissed after scoring 5 runs. But this 20-year-old player made up for it by scoring 64 runs off 43 balls on Friday and laid the foundation for the team’s 44-run win.

Prithvi Shaw shared a 94-run partnership for the first wicket with Shikhar Dhawan, which led Delhi Capitals to 175 for 3 wickets. Both of them started off slow and collected just 36 runs in the first 6 overs but soon caught the rhythm.
He said, ‘Chennai Super Kings have some great fast bowlers, yet I was able to get some gaps. As spinners came, me and Shikhar Dhawan knew that we can speed up our innings after powerplay.
