Notably, Delhi Capitals’ opening combination once looked solid when Shaw and Warner were scoring runs aplenty, but ever since the former was diagnosed with typhoid, things have gone downhill for Rishabh Pant’s team.

Prior to this match, DC’s opening combination scored only 16 runs in three matches where Shaw and Warner did not open together. Pant opted for a new-look opening partnership with Sarfaraz Khan, but this time around, Warner failed to make his mark.
Trying to hit a boundary in the very first delivery off Liam Livingstone, Warner sliced the ball straight to Rahul Chahar. With this dismissal, it means Delhi have now scored only 16 runs for the first-wicket stand in their last four matches, which includes three ducks.
- Prithvi Shaw has maintained a strike rate of 159.88 in nine games.
- Shaw & Warner put up four 50-run stands in 7 matches.
- In Shaw’s absence, DC’s opening stands read: 0 vs SRH, 16 vs CSK, 0 vs RR, 0 vs PBKS
Meanwhile, Liam Livingstone became only the fifth spinner to take a wicket in the first ball of an IPL match.

When is Prithvi Shaw returning?
Thankfully for DC, Prithvi Shaw has been discharged from the hospital but he is still unlikely to feature before the playoffs, provided DC make it to that stage. “Delhi Capitals opener Prithvi Shaw has been discharged from the hospital where he was being treated for a bout of typhoid. Shaw has returned to the team hotel where he is currently recuperating while being monitored by the DC medical team,” the team stated in a statement on Sunday.
