DUBAI (UAE): Delhi batsman Prithvi Shaw scored a sparkling half-century against Chennai Super Kings in the Indian Premier League (IPL) on Friday.
The right-handed batsman slammed eight boundaries on his way to score his fifth IPL career fifty and took 35 deliveries to reach the milestone.
Two of those boundaries came in the ninth over against leg spinner Piyush Chawla, who he shot on both the occasion through the cover region.
The batsman also had luck factor on his side as a mistake from none other than CSK skipper MS Dhoni allowed Shaw to continue his innings.
Dhoni was not in his element after he took a clean catch of Shaw but failed to realise that the Mumbai batsman has knicked the ball.
The incident happened in the first over of the match when Shaw was facing right-arm pacer Deepak Chahar.
Shaw was yet to hit the boundary in the match and was trying to find his footwork when Chahar’s away moving delivery in the second ball of the match took a faint edge and went into the gloves of Dhoni.
The voice was heard clearly by Simon Doull and Sunil Gavaskar in the IPL commentary box, who wondered how come Dhoni never heard it.
