Shikhar Dhawan elated after DC outclass MI: Feels good when you can beat a team like Mumbai Indians

IPL 2021: Delhi Capitals star opener Shikhar Dhawan was elated with his team's 6-wicket win over Mumbai Indians on Tuesday in Chennai and said that this victory will boost the confidence of Delhi players.

Delhi Capitals opener Shikhar Dhawan was a happy man after DC notched up their first win over defending champions Mumbai Indians since March 2019 in a low-scoring IPL match in Chennai on Tuesday. Dhawan flaunted the feel-good factor after beating Mumbai Indians and said that this win will boost Delhi Capitals' confidence. Experienced leg-spinner Amit Mishra’s four-wicket haul along with Dhawan's crucial 45-run knock formed the cornerstone of Delhi Capitals' six-wicket win over Mumbai Indians at Chepauk on Tuesday. It was their DC's 1st win over MI in the last five meetings, having lost four times in IPL 2020. Dhawan, who has been in the form of his life in this year's IPL, once again top-scored for his side with 45 runs off 42 balls while Smith also returned among the runs, scoring 33 off 29 balls. Once they were back in the hut, Lalit Yadav (22*) and Shimron Hetmyer (14*) held their nerves to take DC home in 19.1 overs. Dhawan (231 runs) also consolidated his position at the top of the Orange Cap list and became the first batsman to breach the 200-run mark this season.
