Prithvi Shaw was the top performer for Delhi in their win over Kolkata. He scored 82 off 41 balls, which included six fours in a row off Shivam Mavi in the first over of the chase.

"Wasn't thinking anything to be honest. Was just waiting for the loose balls. We've played for four-five years now (with Shivam Mavi), so I knew where he will bowl to me. I was prepared (for the short ball). The first four-five balls he bowled were half-volleys so I was prepared for the short ball but unfortunately he didn't bowl," Shaw explained to the host broadcasters after the match.

Shaw further said it wasn't easy to play the slower deliveries and he had to wait for the right opportunity to utilize it. "On this wicket especially when the spinner is bowling it wasn't coming very nicely onto the bat. Was stopping a little. Was waiting for them to bowl at me on off stump or outside so I can free my hands. When I'm in there, I keep playing and don't think about the score," he pointed.
