When two experienced cricketers are leading teams who are pitted against each other, it becomes an intriguing moment when one plays a part in the dismissal of the other. Such was the case when Shikhar Dhawan took a screamer to dismiss opposition captain David Warner in the IPL fixture.

Delhi Capitals had a cracking start in the game against Punjab Kings as they were going all guns blazing on a surface offering help for pacers with some extra bounce. Prithvi Shaw was freeing his arms right from the start while David Warner also switched his gears after scoring 13 runs from the first 11 deliveries. The DC skipper was going strong but it required a special fielding effort from the opposition captain Shikhar Dhawan to end his stay at the crease. 

Sam Curran was bowling the 11th over of the innings and Warner was in an attacking mood with the innings entering its second half. He tried to smash the second delivery of the over straight down the ground which was a slower ball. Failing to read the pace variation, Warner mistimed his stroke and the ball went high in the air. Shikhar Dhawan who was stationed at mid-off ran backward as the ball was going to land behind him. The PBKS skipper then put in a dive while keeping an eye on the ball. Also, he ensured that the ball will not pop out of his hands while landing on the ground. 

Twitteratis also praised the PBKS opener for his unreal fielding effort on the social medial platform and showered a lot of praise for him.
