Coming on the back of some serious humiliation after the batting collapse against Kings XI Punjab, the Delhi Daredevils responded in some style at home on Tuesday, against the Sunrisers Hyderabad.
For Delhi, the win means that the tournament is still wide open and their campaign is still alive. Led by the brilliance of their young batting duo of Rishabh Pant and Shreyas Iyer, the hosts strolled to the target of 186 with sheer ease.
Earlier in the game, it was Yuvraj Singh who stole the show with a fluent knock of 70 where he tore into Kagiso Rabada in the death overs. The target, however, wasn’t too much for the hosts, as a rapid start at the top meant that the base was set.
Fans lauded the Daredevils for getting back to winning ways and below are some of the tweets.

When the entire DD batting order fires in unison, it is an altogether different ball game and that is what happened today! #IPL #DDvSRH

#DDvSRH Delhi is capable of winning any match. They have best young batting lineup.

#CoreyAnderson is finally coming good. Hitting #Bhuvi out of the park with that power is not child's play! #DDvSRH #IPL

Aware that #Daredevils had a suspect batting line up #SRH probably tried to bury them with a big score. The bowler short now worrying them!

Like how @BhuviOfficial is looking like a leader on the field. Very good sign.

Was dew the reason that prevented Warner from using a few more overs of spin? Hooda-Williamson? On a pitch that turned loads. #DDvSRH #IPL
