LSG vs DC IPL 2024: Prithvi Shaw’s Unstoppable Batting Propels Delhi Capitals to Victory

Earlier, DC spinner Kuldeep Yadav and left-arm pacer Khaleel Ahmed dominated the LSG batters, with Ayush Badoni contributing an unbeaten half-century to help the hosts reach a respectable 167 for 7. LSG skipper KL Rahul scored 39 runs, while Badoni provided the real push in the middle and closing overs with a 35-ball 55 not out after the hosts had lost wickets in quick succession due to incisive bowling by Kuldeep and Khaleel. Kuldeep, returning after missing three games due to groin issues, took 3 wickets for 20 runs in four overs, while Khaleel claimed two wickets for 41 runs. He has been in good form lately.

Naveen ul Haq bowls a full delivery swinging in around off to Prithvi Shaw who knocks it to covers. Arshad Khan bowls a boundary ball to David Warner, with a short delivery close to off that Warner pulls through mid-wicket. Another delivery by Arshad Khan is short of a length and on middle, which Shaw tucks to square leg for a single. Warner opens his account with a single off a length ball outside off, which he punches to the right of mid-off.

Arshad Khan cramps Warner up with a delivery on off that nips back in, causing Warner to defend but getting beaten on the inside edge. A short and wide delivery from Arshad Khan induces a swing and a miss from Warner. Prithvi Shaw is checked by the physio after the ball hits him hard on the fingers, but he is able to continue. Delhi gets underway with a single from a delivery by Arshad Khan, which allows Shaw to tickle it to short fine leg.
