Prithvi Shaw was adjudged the Man of the Match in the game between Delhi Capitals & Kolkata Knight Riders, which DC won by 7 wickets. Shaw scored 82 runs off 41 balls, hitting 11 fours and 3 sixes. Prithvi Shaw reached his half century in 18 balls, which is the fastest so far in IPL 2021. After winning the man of the match award, the young DC opener said, “Wasn't thinking anything to be honest. Was just waiting for the loose balls. "

"We've played for four-five years now with Mavi, so I knew where he will bowl to me. I was prepared for the short ball. The first four-five balls he bowled were half-vollies so I was prepared for the short ball but unfortunately he didn't bowl.”

“On this wicket especially when the spinner is bowling it wasn't coming very nicely onto the bat. Was stopping a little. Was waiting for them to bowl at me on off stump or outside so I can free my hands. When I'm in there, I keep playing and don't think about the score. Don't think about myself, just want the team to win.”
