#DD’s patience with Maxwell is worth noticing. So much so…that’s he’s been given the opening slot now. They didn’t show the same kind of faith with Gambhir, Munro or Roy. #SRHvDD #IPL

ABD, Virat Kohli , McCullum may be the world’s best and biggest hitters of the game but the real fun is watching young guys like Prithvi Shaw, Pant and Shreyas nailing the bowlers…#CSKvRCB #SRHvDD #IPL2018
