IPL 2020: Shikhar Dhawan reveals why he didn’t opt for DRS against SRH
Delhi Capitals registered a thumping win over Sunrisers Hyderabad in Qualifier 2 to fix a date with Mumbai Indians in the IPL 2020 final. Shikhar Dhawan boosted the batting display of Delhi with his thunderous knock of 78 runs. Dhawan has crossed the 600-run mark this season, and is sitting next to Orange Cap holder KL Rahul. It was his fourth fifty in the tournament.
After having two centuries under his belt in IPL 2020, Gabbar has been walking up the field with commendable confidence. Even in the latest match, he showed splendid intent before he was dismissed by SRH pacer Sandeep Sharma. The southpaw could have avoided leaving the field by opting for DRS but he chose to walk away instead. The replay stated that the umpire called out the wrong decision.
Delhi could have crossed 200 easily had Dhawan stayed a bit longer at the crease. In the same line of the incident, former cricketer Yuvraj Singh asked Dhawan as to why he didn’t go for the DRS option. Dhawan has come up with a reply, and it suggests that the prolific batter had some confusion.
Hahahah pajhi mainu lag gya plumb hai tah muuh chuk chal paya jadh boundary tey pahuncha tadh pata lag gya ?????

Capitals posted 189/3 in the quota of 20 overs while batting first. While chasing the score, SRH stumbled under pressure as DC’s star pacer Kagiso Rabada named a terrific four-wicket hall on his name. Marcus Stoinis scalped three apart from his classy contribution with the bat as he came up to open the order for Delhi. He was named the player of the match.
