Incredible Premier League! @IPL What a dramatic Sunday night. Feel for #KaneWilliamson, his masterclass goin in vain. Well done @DelhiCapitals executed their plans well at the pressure situation @RishabhPant17 👏.#DCvsSRH #IPL2021

Good on Sunrisers using the IPL platform to popularize 4 vs 11 cricket matches

Minor thing. Before #IPL2021, BCCI decided to give the short run check to the third umpire.

Punjab had made an official complaint last year after a tied game vs DC saw them denied a run. Maybe played a role in this rule change.

this teaches us that staying outside home even an inch right now can cause a lot of damage to you. #SRHvDC pic.twitter.com/OQ7uRkauYZ

Bad luck #SRH to not win the match after putting up a gutsy fight. Alas Williamson’s terrific knock goes in vain. DC will be relieved at two points accruing to them. However failure of Rabada and Ashwin to take wickets regularly this season is becoming a concern

Unless Bairstow was in toilet, can't get why would he not be your first choice in a #SuperOver when he scored 38 of 18 in the main innings and looked the cleanest hitter. Baffling, Hyderabad fought well but have only themselves to blame for strange decisions. #SRHvsDC

Outstanding from Suchith. And, fair to say, only Williamson could have taken them that far with the scant support he had

Is this the worst Super Over ever?! #IPL2021 #SRHvDC
— Chetan Narula (@chetannarula) April 25, 2021
Warner anna what is this? Why you?? Why not Braistow or Suchith??? if you have to make a team why don’t you make it on #Dream11 #SRHvDC

I think the 1st causality of #IPL2021 is written on the wall! Horrible decisions have led to this state, a game @SunRisers had in their hands! #SRHvsDC
