Shikhar Dhawan Stunning Catch of Warner: Delhi Capitals (DC) showed a brilliant game against Punjab Kings (PBKS) in the IPL 2023 game at Dharamshala on Wednesday. David Warner and Prithvi Shaw gave a great start to the team. After that, top-order batsman Rilee Rossouw, who came to bat at number three, scored his first IPL half-century; during his batting, Rossouw scored 82 runs in just 37 balls.
Delhi Capitals, who were already out of the race for the playoffs, made a great start, and Prithvi Shaw scored 54 runs after returning after almost a month. Shaw, who made his last appearance in this season’s IPL against Kolkata Knight Riders on April 20, returned to form with a 35-ball 50, while David Warner scored a 31-ball 46.
Shaw struck Rabada in his 38-ball innings as he made his best start to the season with his skipper David Warner (46 from 31 balls). Warner was dismissed when Shikhar Dhawan, Sam Curran, took his brilliant catch off. Dhawan came running from cover and dived to take a sharp catch.

Punjab, who won the toss and chose to bowl, also gave life to Warner at 39 when Rahul Chahar dropped his catch. Shikhar Dhawan sent off Warner with an excellent catch, but by then, he had laid the foundation for a big score.
