IPL 2021: WATCH – Prithvi Shaw whacks Shivam Mavi for six consecutive fours in DC’s first over

Shaw got DC off to a flying start while chasing KKR's 154/6.

Prithvi Shaw put on a batting exhibition in Delhi Capitals’ (DC) clash with Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the 25th match of IPL 2021 at the Narendra Modi Stadium, Ahmedabad on Thursday (April 29).

Chasing 155 to win, Shaw got DC off to a flying start as he whacked his former U-19 teammate Shivam Mavi for six consecutive fours in the first over.

Mavi started off with a wide but after that it was a masterclass from Shaw, slamming all the legal deliveries for a boundary.

The right-hander hit the first four right over the bowler's head and followed it with an imperious flick before smashing four boundaries through the cover and point region.

Thanks to Prithvi Shaw’s carnage, Delhi Capitals aggregated 67 runs in the powerplay and didn’t lose a wicket.

Earlier, KKR posted 154/6 in 20 overs on the back of Andre Russell’s unbeaten 45 off 27 balls and Shubman Gill’s 38-ball 43.

Lalit Yadav (2-13) and Akshar Patel (2-31) were the stand-out bowlers for DC, claiming two wickets each.
