Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Shikhar Dhawan remained unbeaten on 69 after facing 47 deliveries as his side beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) by seღven wickets in Match 29 of IPL 2021.
Put in to bat first, Punjab’s stand-in skipper Mayank Agarwal smashed a 58-ball 99* and led his team🍷 to 166/6 in their stipulated overs.
Mayank became the second batsman after Suresh Raina in 2013 to remain unbeaten on 99 at the end of the innings. He hit two fours and a six off the last three balls of the first innings and stitched a partnership of 52 runs for the third wicket with debutant Dawid Malan (26) and a 41-run stand for the fifth wicket with Shahrukh Khan (4).
