IPL 2019: Team goal is more important than my century, says Dhawan

 

XtraTime Web Desk: Delhi Capitals opener Shikhar Dhawan missed his maidan T20 century by just three runs but his 97 run innings guided Delhi Capitals to win the game against Kolkata Knight Riders at the Eden Gardens.
Team is more important to Shikhar who scored his highest run in the IPL against KKR today.
After the victory Shikhar said, “I knew it could be my first T20 hundred but the team goal is more important, hence I took that single rather than taking a huge risk. ”
According to Gabbar Eden is completely different from the Firoz Shah Kotla pitch. He said, “It’s totally opposite here compared to Delhi. I was telling Dinesh the same thing. It’s a good wicket to bat on. Good for the bowlers as well as the batsmen, makes it interesting. In Delhi we have to adapt ourselves, hence we got to have that skill.”
As a senior guy he took the responsibility to take this young Delhi Capital side to the home. He said, “I really enjoyed in the first six overs but I knew I had to stay till the last. I was getting the right thoughts and I had to take the game deep.”
Shikhar also praised Rishabh Pant for his supporting knock of 46. “Rishabh is such a big hitter he can always hit it out of the park.” Dhawan signed off.
