Shikhar Dhawan Drops to His Knees On Dinesh Karthik's Cue In Hilarious Banter
With Shikhar Dhawan around, entertainment always takes place along with bating. The same thing happened during Delhi Capitals’ Indian Premier League (IPL) 2021 match against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday. Delhi Capitals chased 155 in 16.3 overs to win the game, but the two provided a light moment during DC's innings. After a stumping chance, Karthik became angry and pointed out at Dhawan and the left-hander immediately dropped his bat and fell to his knees. Karthik made another angry gesture before breaking into a smile. Earlier, Axar Patel and Lalit Yadav took two wickets each as Kolkata Knight Riders were restricted to 154/6. Shubman Gill scored 43 to anchor their innings, and then, despite a mini-collapse in the middle, Andre Russell smashed an unbeaten 45 off 27 deliveries to take KKR to a respectable total.
Dhawan's opening partner Prithvi Shaw then got DC off to the perfect start, smashing six fours in the very first over of their chase.
The openers put on 132 for the first wicket to finish KKR's hopes of defending the modest total.
