During the course of his innings, Shaw produced a moment of magic off the bowling of Mitchell Johnson which would have certainly made MS Dhoni proud. In the ninth over of the Delhi innings, Shaw copied Dhoni’s trademark helicopter shot to perfection to hit a massive six on the on-side, leaving the former Aussie pacer completely bewildered.

High on confidence after the ICC U-19 World Cup, Shaw seemed determined to score a whole lot of runs against KKR as Delhi were looking to save their season. Shaw, who completed his half century of 38 balls not only had the likes of Mitchell Johnson running for cover but also set the platform for captain Shreyas Iyer’s swashbuckling knock. Delhi scored 219 batting first, while KKR could only manage 164 and were handed a heavy defeat.
