Prithvi Shaw’s 38-ball attack
The most important thing in this victory of Delhi was the return of Prithvi Shaw. This season was not good for the young opener. In the first 6 matches of the season, he got continuous failure and could score only 47 runs. Then he did not get a chance for the next 6 matches. Now after the team was out, he returned against Punjab and Shaw played a useful inning for the team, scoring a quick 54 in just 38 balls, indicating his return to rhythm.

Prithvi beats Chennai
This was Shaw’s first half-century in this season, but this one innings not only helped in defeating Punjab, but also put Dhoni in tension. The main reason for this is Shaw’s performance against Chennai. The 23-year-old Indian opener has scored 273 runs in just 10 innings against Chennai, in which 3 half-centuries have come. The special thing is that Prithvi’s runs have come from a tremendous strike rate of 153.
Chennai’s last match, which has not yet confirmed its place in the playoffs, is against Delhi on Saturday, May 20 at its own home. He has to win this match at any cost. However, the way Delhi performed against Punjab, it doesn’t seem that easy. Especially the return of Prithvi Shaw is not a good sign.
