Twitter reacts as Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson set the stadium on fire as they thrash Gujarat
It was raining sixes at the Feroz Shah Kotla as Rishabh Pant and Sanju Samson made a mockery of Gujarat's score of 208. The innings by Rishab Pant was so brilliant that even Sachin Tendulkar took to Twitter praising the young lad for his brilliant innings of 97 off just 43 balls.
Brief Scores: Gujarat Lions 208/7 (Suresh Raina 77, Dinesh Karthik 65; Kagiso Rabada 2/28, Pat Cummins 2/30) lost to Delhi Daredevils 214/3 (Rishabh Pant 97, Sanju Samson 61; Basil Thampi 1/40, Ravindra Jadeja 1/28) by 7 wickets.
Here are the best tweets from the game:

@shubh_chintak Is this the reason why DD drops their previous game Man of the match? :P So that they don't perform this bad. :D

The question on everyone's mind!
Has Morris left or was he rested or dropped for performing #DDvGL

So true!
They will keep dropping sitters till #IPL finds a sponsor for "Halwa" catch of the match.

The Risabh Pant show!
This Rishabh Pant must see the ball before the bowler has conceived it. This is special. Take care of him.

Definitely!
#DDvGL I think Rishabh pant is the best replacement for Dhoni... He should give his place to junior

Oh yes it did!
Rishabh Pant reminds me of Jayasuriya

You know you are awesome when the opposition captain applauds your performance!
Skipper #SureshRaina applauds that fantastic innings from Rishabh Pant. We loved it too! #GameMaariChhe #DDvGL

And a praise from the God himself!
