Kolkata Knight Riders head coach Brendon McCullum made no bones about the fact that he wanted his boys to play the way Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw did against KKR at the Narendra Modi Stadium on Thursday. Shaw hit a swashbuckling 82 off 41 balls to take the game away from KKR. He was especially severe on Shivam Mavi, picking 25 runs from the first over itself - 24 off the bat and a wide. While Shaw did look like a man on a mission, the youngster said he was not really looking at some specific plan and was just waiting for the bad balls. 

"Wasn't thinking anything to be honest. Was just waiting for the loose balls. We've played for four-five years now (with Shivam Mavi), so I knew where he will bowl to me. I was prepared (for the short ball). The first four-five balls he bowled were half-volleys so I was prepared for the short ball but unfortunately he didn't bowl," he explained to the host broadcasters after the game.
