MUMBAI
Delhi Capitals (DC) made Chennai Super Kings (CSK) pay dearly for their lapses in field and poor bowling, as the duel between the master and the apprentice turned out to be a damp squib with apprentice Rishabh Pant’s DC thrashing master MS Dhoni’s CSK by seven wickets at the Wankhede Stadium here on Saturday.
Prithvi Shaw (72 off 38 balls) and Shikhar Dhawan (85 off 54 balls) put on a 138-run opening-wicket partnership in 13.3 overs that saw their side make a mockery of the challenging 189-run target set by CSK. DC chased the target in 18.4 overs.
Shaw said he had worked on his back-and-across movement after returning from Australia which has helped him score an avalanche of runs lately.
“From Australia when I was dropped, I worked on the back-and-across movement. I started to work on it in Australia itself. I focussed on it with Pravin [Amre] sir as well. I had a good plan before going into that tournament (Vijay Hazare one-dayers). I think it is working quite well,” Shaw told broadcasters after leading his team to a seven-wicket win over CSK.
The right-handed batsman added that he doesn’t want to think about the India spot at the moment.
