Delhi 31-0 (3 ovs) vs KKR | Scorecard

The young Prithvi Shaw to open the batting for Delhi with the dangerous Kiwi left-hander Colin Munro.

KKR opt for spin straightaway as leg-spinner Piyush Chawla opens the bowling.

Shaw defends the first two balls before he flicks the third ball through midwicket for a couple to get off the mark. He tries to turn the next ball on the leg side but misses and is struck on the pads before he cuts a short ball but can't beat point.

Shaw slog sweeps the last ball but gets a single to deep midwicket as three come from the first over.

Wrist Spin from both ends as Kuldeep Yadav shares the new ball with Chawla.

Shaw drives the first ball down to long-on for a single and Munro does the same next ball for a single to get off the mark.

Shaw slog sweeps the third ball and again for just a single to the fielder in the deep.

Kuldeep drops short as Munro pulls it straight down the ground for a six before he slaps the next ball through the covers for a single off the last ball.

That six seems to have boosted Munro's confidence. In the next over, he drives a full delivery straight down the ground past mid-off for a four and then carves the next over the thirdman region for the same result.

Shaw also joins in the party as he plays the inside out lofted shot against Chawla for a boundary and then pulls the next ball for the fourth boundary of the over.

A single off the last ball makes it 18 from Chawla's second over as Delhi race to 31 for no loss in three overs.
