Have been David Warner’s fan, enjoyed my first outing with him: Prithvi Shaw

New Delhi, 08 April 2022: The JSW-GMR co-owned Delhi Capitals franchise went down by six wickets in their TATA IPL 2022 match against Lucknow Super Giants on Thursday, however, opening batter Prithvi Shaw said that the team will focus on the positives from the match, “We didn’t achieve our target as a batting unit against LSG, but the start that we got was a positive thing for us. We will not keep any negative things in our minds and move on from this match.”

Shaw, who played a swashbuckling knock of 61 runs from 34 balls, expressed that the team will need to make a few small corrections, “It’ll take time for all the players to get to know each other on the field. Today we got to know what the team can do. Even though we didn’t have enough runs on the board, we fought till the end and everyone was together. We just need to make a few small corrections and we will be fine.”

I have been a fan of David Warner: Prithvi Shaw

Meanwhile, the game marked David Warner’s return to the Delhi-based team after nine seasons. Although the southpaw couldn’t do much and was dismissed for a 12-ball four, he’s expected to find his rhythm in the upcoming games. His new opening partner Prithvi Shaw is of the same belief.

When asked about his experience of batting with David Warner, the opener said, “Warner has been playing international cricket for more than 10 years and I have been a fan of the way he strikes the ball. I love to watch a batter hit sixes and fours from the non-striker’s end. It was great fun to bat with him against LSG and once we form a good understanding, it’ll be even better to bat with him.”

The Delhi Capitals will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in their next match at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai on Sunday, 10 April 2022. Having lost their last two games, Rishabh Pant’s men would be raring to bounce back.
