Shikhar Dhawan and Prithvi Shaw celebrated Delhi Capitals' win in their IPL 2021 season opener against Chennai Super Kings with a dance video. In the video Dhawan is seen grooving to a song even as Shaw remains still, roleplaying the characters in the song. The video ends with a blooper as Dhawan tries to lift Shaw but fails. "Too heavy to pick," wrote Dhawan in the caption. The two DC opening batsmen added 138 runs in just 13.3 overs in a chase of 189 runs to give their team a good start against MS Dhoni and his men.
