IPL 2017 – Twitter Reacts As Delhi Daredevils Beat Rising Pune Supergiant In A Thriller
May 13, 2017 at 12:07 AM
The Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in Delhi witnessed an absolute thriller, as the hosts just about got home against the Rising Pune Supergiant.
By the virtue of the result, the tournament is still wide open and the men from Pune now need to win their last game against the Kings XI Punjab at all costs in order to qualify for the playoffs. That makes the afternoon game of Sunday a virtual quarter-final.
Batting first, Delhi scrambled their way to 168, thanks to a half-century from Karun Nair right at the top of the order. Despite the middle order struggling, the side managed to get past 160 on a decent surface. Skipper Zaheer Khan though, led from the front with a superb bowling display picking up two wickets from his four overs while conceding just 25 runs.
Fans on Twitter reacted to this wild game and below are some of the tweets.

Barring Tiwary, Pune's big guns lost wickets through needless extravagance. Dhoni's run out turning point. Very costly lapse in attention

#DDvRPS I believe RPS are heavily dependent on Ben Stokes. They dont even have any replacement for him

So enjoyed watching @ImZaheer bowl. That first inswinger to Rahane was a classic. Wonder if there is another IPL left in him…
