XtraTime Web Desk: Shikhar Dhawan is now the newest sensation on Twitter. Last night when Delhi Capitals were facing Chennai Super Kings, Shikhar Dhawan grabbed everyone’s attention with his new sunglass. While he was fielding, Dhawan was seen wearing a ‘uber-cool’ night glasses. Kevin Pietersen, the former captain of the England team who was commentating now wants the same sunglass.
‘I want them. I really want them’- This is what KP said when Dhawan was shown in the big screen before laughing out loud. Dhawan loves to give a style statement. Few years back, his moustache was the talking point and many Indians tried to copy him. Last night, he was seen with the trendy night glasses. Will India follow? Time will tell.
Dhawan scored 35 runs off 27 balls as he played supported Prithvi Shaw from the other end. He was dismissed by spinner Piyush Chawla in the 11th over. But the one thing fans could not forget about Dhawan from the match was the glassed he sported on Friday. Here are some of the comments from users on Twitter.
Delhi Capitals showed their championship intent on Friday as they dominated Chennai Super Kings in match 7 of the Indian Premier League. The perennial underdogs roared like lions at the Dubai International Stadium as they outmaneuvered the former champions and grabbed victory by 44 runs at the Dubai International Stadium. After being put into bat, DC started well with Prithvi Shaw carting the bowlers all over the part while getting ample support from Dhawan.
In reply, CSK were never really in the game as DC spinners Amit Mishra and Axar Patel spun a web and Kagiso Rabada picked up three wickets towards the back end of the innings as CSK could well manage 131 for 7 in their 20 overs.
Shaw was named the Man of the Match for his flamboyant innings. While commenting on his innings, Shaw said that his plan was to play the shots along the ground to reduce the number of risks in the innings.
“My plan was to play my natural game but I was looking to play shots along the ground, last game we saw there were some silly mistakes and it was not working for me or the team. I just thought I would play along the ground,” Shaw told skipper Shreyas Iyer in a video posted on iplt20.com.
