Prithvi Shaw lit up the DY Patil Stadium with his audacious strokeplay before Lucknow Super Giants applied the brakes on the Delhi Capitals run spree in an IPL-15 contest on Thursday. Shaw drove, pulled and cut his way to a pulsating 61 off just 34 balls, two sixes and nine fours adorning it, and totally dominated the first-wicket partnership of 67 in 7.3 overs. Australian David Warner (4), in his first game of the season, was a meek spectator at the other end. Capitals finished on 149 for 3.
At the time of going to press, Lucknow Super Giants were 45-0 after five overs. Earlier, Shaw, 22, who reached his 50 off just 30 balls and helped the Capitals to a flying start of 40 off four overs, was dismissed on the cut stroke in the 8th over and the Capitals run rate dropped once he left the scene. The diminutive opener struck a six each off Jason Holder and off-spinner Krishnappa Gowtham to whom he finally fell, besides striking nine other fours, all off the meat, barring one outside edge off Gowtham.
