Twitter reacts to Rishabh Pant's monumental effort against RCB
Rishabh Pant scored a brilliant 57 runs in an ultimately unsuccessful run chase against Royal Challengers Bangalore as Delhi fell short of their target by 15 runs. Twitterati praised the youngster for his effort after he turned up for the match despite the death of his father on Wednesday night.
Riding on the brilliant bowling display by Billy Stanlake and Tymal Mills, Royal Challengers thwarted Rishabh Pant's exceptional effort to secure their first victory of the 2017 IPL campaign. Earlier, Kedar Jadhav's 69 had propelled Bangalore to a formidable 157 runs after a top order collapse.
Brief scores: Royal Challengers Bangalore 157/8 ( Kedar Jadhav 69, Shane Watson 24; Chris Morris 3/21, Zaheer Khan 2/31) beat Delhi Daredevils 142/9 (Rishabh Pant 57, Sam Billings 25; Pawan Negi 2/3, Billy Stanlake 2/29) by 15 runs.

Binny's back!!
Hope Kedar Jadhav doesn't get thirsty while batting. He won't get any water right now since Binny is with him at the crease.#RCBvDD

U know how much trouble a team is in when Stuart Binny comes to bat with more than 11 overs to go. #IPL #RCBvDD

You don't catch #Legend Binny, he picks up the fielder of his choice.#RCBvDD #IPL

It is truly a shame. Isn't it?
What a special player Kedar Jadhav has become. Or maybe he always was and we didn't find him!
