Shaw, who has been struggling to score runs lately, was dismissed for a duck courtesy of an outstanding fielding effort by Anuj Rawat. Notably, the Mumbaikar was not included in the starting XI and was used as the Impact Player at the start of the Capitals’ innings in the chase of 175.
It all happened in the opening over of the DC’s innings bowled by Mohammad Siraj when the dynamic opener struck the fourth ball towards the cover region, where Anuj was positioned. Anuj swiftly dived to stop the ball and didn’t waste any time in throwing it towards the bowler’s end. His precise throw hit the stumps directly, resulting in Shaw’s exit from the crease.
