Previous India chief Sunil Gavaskar is an extreme man to dazzle. Ask the multitudinous batsmen who are attempting to make an imprint in Indian cricket, particularly those in the IPL. Throughout the long term, Gavaskar has been known to worry about the significance of getting the essentials right – things, for example, establishing the bat appropriately while running between wickets or giving yourself time when a batsman is new to the wrinkle.

Maybe this is the motivation behind why the previous India commander was annoyed with Prithvi Shaw's excusal for 7 against Kings XI Punjab on Tuesday. The Delhi Capitals opener, falling off successive ducks against Rajasthan Royals and Chennai Super Kings, played a luxurious shot to get out off the bowling of James Neesham.

“There is a problem with Prithvi Shaw that he is not changing his style of play even after having not scored runs. Sunil Gavaskar was angry during commentary and I was also a little upset, that if you did not score runs in the previous matches, then play a little bit along the ground as your partner was anyway hitting,” Chopra said in a video posted on his YouTube Channel.

Nonetheless, there is by all accounts no such issues for Shaw's initial part Shikhar Dhawan, who on Tuesday turned into the principal major parts throughout the entire existence of IPL to strip off consecutive hundreds of years. With two hundred on the run, Dhawan has thundered into the best five run-getters rundown and Chopra credited his previous Delhi colleague for his thumps, particularly for keeping up a sound strike-rate.

“Shikhar Dhawan played very well. Because he is not batting slowly, he is going at a super-fast speed. He has struck two consecutive tons, which no other player has done to date in the IPL. He has been absolutely outstanding, 207 not out, and counting. Because a century in the last match and a century in this match, unbeaten in the last match and unbeaten here as well, Chopra said.
