Dhawan all praise for Delhi pace duo Rabada, Nortje

TIL Desk Sports/ Delhi Capitals skipper Shreyas Iyer is in pain after hurting his left shoulder but the full details will only be known after his scan reports arrive, said stand-in captain Shikhar Dhawan after their team beat Rajasthan Royals by 13 runs in the IPL match, in Dubai, on Wednesday.

Iyer hurt his left shoulder while trying to effect a diving stop and had to leave the field due to severe pain. “He is in pain but good thing is he is able to move his shoulder. I haven’t spoken to him at length. We will get proper report tomorrow,” said Dhawan.

“One moment it was quite even and to pick it back from there was a team effort. It was important we stay positive as a team. I knew their batting isn’t deep and if we got their top-order we can get them,” the veteran opener said.

Dhawan was all praise for his pacers Kagiso Rabada, the top wicket-taker in the IPL with 18 wickets, and his South African teammate Anrich Nortje — the fastest bowler in world cricket currently.
