Prithvi Shaw struck 82 off 41 balls as the Delhi Capitals eased to a seven-wicket win over the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the Indian Premier League (IPL) match played on Thursday at Ahmedabad.
The opener reached his half-century in 18 deliveries as Delhi chased a target of 155 with 3.3 overs to spare.
Shaw, 21, also became the second man in IPL history to score six consecutive boundaries in an over.
Earlier, Eoin Morgan was out for a second-ball duck as KKR posted 154 for six with Andre Russell scoring 45 not out.
The win takes Delhi up to second in the IPL table with KKR - who have lost five in seven - remaining in fifth.
After losing opener Nitish Rana (15) in the fourth over, Shubman Gill and Rahul Tripathi stabilised the KKR innings as the side reached 69 for one in 9.2 overs.
