On how he plans to tackle Chennai Super Kings bowlers in the Qualifier 2, to be held on Friday, DC star batsman Prithvi Shaw said the Delhi players have faced the defending champions in previous IPLs and they understand their game.


"The team will have a plan after reaching Chennai. How to face which bowler like Harbhajan (Singh) bahi, Jaddu (Ravindra Jadeja) sir or (Imran) Tahir sir. We will have to plan. We will look to do what we've done earlier."

Shaw also heaped praises on teammate Rishab Pant, calling him the best finisher among youngsters after the 21-year-old helped Delhi Capitals beat Sunrisers Hyderabad by two wickets in a nerve-wracking IPL Eliminator here.

"In these T20 games, there's a lot of pressure. I was praying that we win. Pant did a brilliant job. I have said that he is the best finisher among the young players. He always opens up the game for us. He has been doing very well. Unfortunately, he could not finish it for us, but Keemo did well in the end," Shaw said at the post match press conference.

Shaw said while playing in the middle he concentrates on choosing the bowlers who he can hit.

"While you're playing in the middle it is simple - just play your game and chose bowlers that we want to hit first and obviously (Mohammad) Nabi and Rashid (Khan) were the best bowlers on their side. It was an interesting game and I'm happy that we won."

Shaw said that it is not about who plays who but depends on how prepared the team is for the game.

"Personally, whichever ball is lose, I will smash that ball. Even with Harbhajan bhai and Tahir sir is bowling, I will obviously smash it," Shaw added.

When asked about Delhi's tendency to lose wickets at the most crucial moments, the batsman said, "I think we like to make every game interesting. Every time things are going well, we give away two-three wickets.

"But I think that's the charm of T20 cricket. Till the time you don't feel the pressure, its not as much fun."
