Here we bring you the cricket match latest updates. Here’s what the skipper of Delhi Daredevils, Shreyas Iyer, said after the match:
“I think it was a brilliant total to get on this wicket. Because the start we got was really disheartening. I think towards the end, the ball was coming nicely onto the bat. The wicket played well towards the end. Was a two-paced wicket. We didn’t get many opportunities to get them out. So they played well. There’s always hope to carry into the next season. It’s going to be really important as youngsters that we get along in the coming games. It will give us a boost for the next year.

The skipper of Sunrisers Hyderabad, Kane Williamson said:
“We wanted to go out and keep playing as a team. And we have been playing on tough surfaces, so it was nice to go out and execute our batting plans. It’s always tough chasing here. We thought it was a tough surface, keeping a touch low perhaps. Pant played a special knock. They had a score above par. Dew played a little part, yes. Wicket was a good surface towards the end. A bit of partnership at the top, which gave us the momentum. We were batting with intent when chasing 180. I think when you are rotating the strike the boundaries start to come. It was nice to get that partnership. Shikhar was outstanding; certainly put them on the back foot.”

Shikhar Dhawan was given the title of Player of the match, here’s what he said:
“The Gabbar was always there – Yes! He’s back. Rishabh played an amazing knock, he took the game away from us. But we believed that we’ll go in with a positive mind-set. I have played lots of cricket over here. I am glad that I scored 92 runs and I am looking forward to score more runs. There was no chat between us, we were doing our job. Kane has been playing brilliantly throughout this season and I was just in the flow, had to go for it. That’s my class.”
