As the remaining members returned negative, only 15 players and a handful of support staff were allowed into Brabourne Stadium.

Did. The team had found its purpose.
The Capitals must have been the injured team when they reached the venue but when they left the stadium they had brutally injured Punjab Kings. They bowled out Punjab for 115 and then chased down the target in 10.3 overs with nine wickets to spare.

Shaw fell for 41 off 20 balls while sweeping Rahul Chahar’s slog, but before that the duo made fun of the Kagiso Rabada-led bowling attack with 81 runs in the first six overs.
