Watch: Nathan Ellis takes a spectacular catch to dismiss Prithvi Shaw
Pocket Dynamite Prithvi Shaw has been in a fine form for Delhi Capitals this IPL season. The young batter is trying to be in the reckoning for a place in the Indian T20I squad for the upcoming world cup.
The youngster has impressed all with his destructive knocks at the top. Prithvi Shaw extended his form to score blistering 41 runs off 20 deliveries before getting out courtesy of a spectacular catch by Nathan Ellis at the boundary.
Delhi Capitals met Punjab Kings in the 32nd match of the IPL 2022 at the Brabourne Stadium, Mumbai. For this game, Nathan Ellis was included in the Kings’ playing 11 in place of Odean Smith.
DC’s skipper Rishabh Pant won the toss and invited the opposition to bat first. His bowlers proved the decision right as they dismissed the Kings from Punjab for a paltry score of 115 inside 20 overs.
It was always expected to be an easy chase for Delhi Capitals, but the opening duo of David Warner and Prithvi Shaw was in a mood to demolish the opposition.
