XtraTime Web Desk: There was a lot of talks in the air about why Kolkata Knight Riders team management isn’t bringing young Shubman Gill up in the order as he always play well whenever he bats up the order. Today against Delhi Capitals and he played a gem of a knock as he scored 65 runs in just 39 deliveries. KKR didn’t pick their regular openers Chris Lynn and Sunil Narine today and in their place England’s Joe Denly debuted for the home side and Shubman accompanied him as another opener. Though Denly failed miserably in his first game as he got out on a golden duck on the first delivery of the innings.
After that Shubman played cautiously at first but later in the innings after settling down he showed his true class as he it big sixes and hit quite a few boundaries with pure skill. Before getting out he hit seven boundaries and two sixes.
