Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Prithvi Shaw is known for providing good starts. However, the right-hander has got out early in his last couple of games, scoring a duck and five against Kolkata Knight Riders and Lucknow Super Giants respectively. Rishabh Pant-led Delhi, who have managed four wins from nine games, would want Shaw to bounce back in a must-win game against Sunrisers Hyderabad at the Brabourne Stadium today.
Former India opener WV Raman, who was the India U-19 coach when Shaw led the team on the 2017 England tour, has called for some patience to be displayed by Shaw just like Chennai Super Kings’ young opener Ruturaj Gaikwad. The Pune-based cricketer had four single digit scores in the ongoing IPL, but shrugged off his bad patch with 73 and 99.
