Shaw blazed away to 82 off only 41 balls while sharing 142 runs for the first wicket with Shikhar Dhawan (46). Riding on Shaw’s brilliant show with the bat, Delhi completed the 155-run chase with 21 balls to spare. Shaw hit his former U-19 India teammate Shivam Mavi for 6 boundaries in the first over to signal his intentions in a 155-run chase.

Pant revealed his conversation with Prithvi Shaw during the 155-run chase, saying he was telling the DC opener to play his normal and natural game. Pant also pointed out that Shaw is a talented player who can do wonders if backed properly.
“He’s a talented player, we all know that. But if you give him the confidence he can do wonders. Was only telling him to play the normal game. In this kind of match, we can afford to think of a run rate,” Rishabh Pant said in the post-match presentation ceremony.
Rishabh Pant-led Delhi Capitals displaced Royal Challengers Bangalore in the IPL 2021 points table as the top 3, including Chennai Super Kings, are looking in great shape in the ongoing season. Pant, when he was asked about leading the Capitals, said that he was definitely enjoying the captaincy.
“The only thing we talk with youngsters is just enjoy your cricket, do your best. Lalit is an allrounder. Hasn’t got a chance to bat but he’ll learn. The last match we only lost by one run, so as a team we talk about we don’t have to change anything. Definitely enjoying captaincy,” Pant added.
