Twitter reacts after Dinesh Karthik and Shikhar Dhawan show funny antics

Last night, Pant-led Delhi Capitals and Kolkata Knight Riders have faced each other for the first time in IPL 2021. After winning the toss, Rishabh Pant opted to bowl first.

His plan worked well as their bowlers kept the opposition batsmen under pressure situation. Axar Patel removed Nitish Rana for 15 runs and Marcus Stoinis on the other side, got the wicket of Rahul Tripathi who was looked good with the bat.

The skipper of Kolkata Knight Riders, Eoin Morgan, once again departed for a duck. Shubman Gill stood strong on the other end and scored 43 off 38 balls before being dismissed by the right-arm quick Avesh Khan.

Then Andre Russell came to the party and straightaway started to dominate the bowlers all around the park. The Tamil Nadu-based batsman Dinesh Karthi has been dismissed by Axar Patel for 14 runs.

Kolkata Knight Riders posted a total of 154 runs with the help of Shubman Gill's 43 and Andre Russell's unbeaten 45 off 27 deliveries. Chasing the target, Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw came to the crease and got a very good start to their innings.

The instance took place during the 12th over of the game bowled which was bowled by Varun Chakravarthy. He bowled a wide delivery to the left-hander and Dinesh Karthik was quick to remove the bails as Dhawan was footed behind the crease.
