Shivam Mavi's Revenge after Prithvi Shaw Hits Him for 6 Fours in an Over
The Indian Premier League (IPL) creates such a friendly ambiance where friends and compatriots often may fun with each other, adding to the charm of the tournament. And more often than not, even though teams and players go hard for the win no matter who the opposition, they always take time to catch up with those close to them after the match. The friendship was on display during Delhi Capitals’ 7-wicket win against Kolkata Knight Riders. Opener Prithvi Shaw gave DC the perfect start in their chase of 155, smashing Shivam Mavi for six boundaries in the very first over.
Mavi started the over with a wide, but then Prithvi Shaw hit all six legal deliveries for fours.Now, Mavi and Shaw go a long way back, having won the Under-19 World Cup together in 2018, and the KKR youngster did not let Shaw get away after hammering him with the bat.So Mavi playfully grabbed Shaw by the neck as they caught up after the game, dragging him away as he was left wincing. Shaw smashed 82 off 41 deliveries to help Delhi Capitals chase down the 155-run target after their spinners helped restrict KKR to 154/6, despite a late assault by Andre Russell on his birthday.
