Delhi Capitals opener Shikhar Dhawan is very happy with the kind of start Delhi Capitals have had so far in IPL 2021. With five wins out of their first seven games, the Capitals are placed second in the points table as of now. Rishabh Pant has been very impressive as a captain so far and Shikhar addressed the fact that the side has been performing very well as a team so far.
Performing Well As a Team: Shikhar Dhawan
“We are performing very well as a team this season. We have won five out of seven matches, so we are in a pretty good position at the moment,” Dhawan was quoted as saying in a DC media release.
“The good thing is that the entire team is doing well, and we are not depending on any one individual. There has always been someone who has taken the responsibility to win matches for us. We have a strong side, and I am glad that we are in this position at the moment,” he added.

The Capitals put up a clinical performance to defeat Kolkata Knight Riders by seven wickets in their previous game. Opener Prithvi Shaw lit up the match with a blazing 82 of 41 balls. Shikhar Dhawan said that the youngster showed a lot of courage during his innings.
“It was lovely to see Prithvi strike six boundaries in one over in the last game. We got 25 runs in the first over and the game was over there itself. He made the game easy for me as I didn’t have to take any risks. “Prithvi was in a good flow, and he backed himself to continue scoring runs in that flow, which I think shows a lot of courage he has as a batsman” said Dhawan.
The Delhi Capitals are set to take on Punjab Kings in their next match in Ahmedabad on Sunday.
