Both Shaw and Warner also scored the highest runs of the powerplay of IPL 2022 when they went on to register 81 runs after the end of 6 overs. KL Rahul and Chris Gayle currently lead the tally of most 50+ innings scored by the opening pair for Punjab Kings, erstwhile Kings XI Punjab in 2018. Shaw-Warner can easily topple the tally if they continue to replicate the form which they are maintaining.

Prithivi Shaw who initially started his IPL 2022 with a couple of dismayed starts, was criticized by his head coach Ricky Ponting after getting dismissed on two occasions for playing the pull shot. But he answered back his coach and critics in style by scoring a flashy 50 in the next game, and since then has played in a fantastic manner.
