Watch: Dinesh Karthik glides like 'Falcon' to dismiss Prithvi Shaw in IPL
Dinesh Karthik flies like a Superman to dismiss Delhi opener Prithvi Shaw. Karthik’s ‘SHAW’ndar catch was the best catch that we saw in yesterday’s game. The incident took place in the 3rd over when Prasidh Krishna was bowling his second over. Shaw struck a thick edge in the last ball of the over when Karthik flew to his right to pluck the ball from the air.
Shaw was looking good before he was dismissed as he hit 14 runs off 7 balls including 2 sixes. Delhi Capitals won the match by 7 wickets and this was their first win against Kolkata Knight Riders at Eden Gardens since 2012. Delhi bowlers did a good job to restrict KKR at 178 in 20 overs but their batsmen played a crucial part in chasing the target in 18.5 overs.
Delhi Capitals have won four out of the seven matches they played and have eight points to their name. This is after a long time that Delhi have won this many matches at the start of the season. Capitals are now sitting at number four at the points table, below Chennai Super Kings, Kolkata Knight Riders and Mumbai Indians.
Delhi Capitals will play Sunrisers Hyderabad in their next outing on April 14. When they met the last time Hyderabad came out victorious in a tightly fought match. Hyderabad will host Delhi Capitals at their home and they are considered very strong over there and will enjoy the support of their home crowd. This is going to be a tough fight for Delhi ahead of their next meeting with Mumbai Indians.
