Delhi Capitals batter Prithvi Shaw proved his worth with the first opportunity he got in IPL 2024. Shaw, playing his first match of the season, hammered a 27-ball 43 to set up DC’s win. But what was the influence behind this ‘Gully-cricket-like’ knock? Delhi Capital spilt the beans in a hillarious video.
In the video, Prithvi Shaw is seen discussing the rules of Gully cricket with an influencer. The rules range from “hit a six and you’re out” ,”if you hit a bird’s wings, you get 8 runs” to “you pick up the ball if the ball falls in the gutter.”
While Shaw is seeing agreeing to all the rules, he however categorically refuses to pick up the ball from the gutter. This leads to an altercation and Shaw is seen walking back with the bat. The influencer then agrees to pick the ball up from the gutter.
Delhi Capitals posted the funny video on X (previously twitter) and wrote “Secret behind Prithvi’s Gully-cricket inspired knock revealed” in the video.
