#SRH has the best bowling unit this #IPL and with this chase, they’ve showed that their batting is also peaking at the right time. It’s only fair that the best team has become the first team to qualify. Well done. #DDvSRH #IPL

Really special innings from Rishabh. Those were not bad balls from Bhuvi in the last over barring the last full toss, but Rishabh Pant is really special and I hope he is nurtured well. #DDvSRH

Excellent chase from the @SunRisers Delhi really struggled to bowl dot balls and Kane and Shikhar did it effortlessly in the end. After the bowlers rescuing the batsman in the earlier matches, it was good to see the SRH batsman doing well on an off day for the bowlers #DDvSRH

Forgettable over for Bhuvi with one wicket but 5 boundaries.
We have been hit hard this innings but it’s time for our batsmen to carry this game home.

Runs Flow So Effortlessly When Captain Kane Williamson Is On The Crease. What A Form He Is In. Setting Up Example And Leading #SRH From The Front Right From The Beginning. That Brings In The Much Needed Confidence And Makes You Fearless As A Team. ??#DDvSRH #SRHvDD

DYK? Kane Williamson #SRH has a younger twin brother (by a few minutes), named Logan, who unfortunately is not really interested in cricket!#DDvSRH#IPL2018#IPL

Rishabh Pant rightly hogged the limelight with a brilliant knock but it was a clinical performance from @SDhawan25 and Kane who not only went after the big shots but ran brilliantly between the wickets. Very satisfying win and looking to continue with the momentum #DDvSRH
