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.
