In his previous match against Kings XI Punjab, Prithvi Shaw began well but could not capitalise on his start. Tonight, he not only began well but was able to convert his good start into a big score.

The U19 World Cup winning captain gave Delhi a swift start alongside Colin Munro. Following Munro's departure, Shaw stitched a partnership of 68 with Shreyas Iyer for the second wicket.

He played some brilliant shots as he scored his maiden IPL fifty. Shaw went on to score 62 from 44 deliveries before being bowled by Piyush Chawla. His innings helped DD reach a strong position by the end of the middle overs.

Having done well today, Shaw will be hoping to come up with similar performances as the tournament progresses.
