Prithvi Shaw's 82 vs KKR bigger than many centuries: Dhawan

AHMEDABAD: Delhi Capitals opening batsman Shikhar Dhawan called fellow opener Prithvi Shaw 'courageous' and termed his 82 off 41 balls against Kolkata Knight Riders on Thursday 'bigger than many centuries'.

"His innings of 80-odd is bigger than many centuries because the manner in which he got the runs was of a different class altogether," said Dhawan in a statement released by Delhi Capitals on Saturday.

"It was lovely to see Prithvi strike six boundaries in one over in the last game. We got 25 runs in the first over and the game was over there itself. He made the game easy for me as I didn't have to take any risks. Prithvi was in a good flow, and he backed himself to continue scoring runs in that flow, which I think shows a lot of courage he has as a batsman," he added. IANS
