Prithvi Shaw Reveals His Mindset While Batting Against PBKS

In a video posted by IPL on IPLT20.com, Prithvi Shaw revealed his mindset while batting against Punjab Kings (PBKS). The DC opener said he was under pressure after the comeback but has put in a lot of hard work during practice sessions.

“I think the mindset was quite simple. After getting out in 3-4 games and then getting dropped and coming back. Definitely, I was under pressure, I won’t lie but the work that I have put in in the practice sessions, not missing anything and trying to work extra for it. Those were the little things that got me going tonight,” Prithvi Shaw said.

We Became A Little Casual While Fielding: Prithvi Shaw

Prithvi Shaw also accepted that Delhi Capitals became a little casual while fielding but added that it was because they had set a big target in front of Shikhar Dhawan and Co. DC dropped two crucial catches during the match.

“Like you said, it was tough for the fast bowlers out there. But I think our spinners did a really good job on this kind of wicket. Dropped catches – I think it happens in the game but maybe we were a little casual in between because we scored 213. But a win is a win. Obviously, a little bit late but we will enjoy it today. Everyone putting their hands up and not giving anything away. Everyone is smiling” the DC opener said in a video uploaded by IPL.
