Twitter reacts to Shreyas Iyer's incredible knock and Dinesh Karthik's strange captaincy as KKR succumb to heavy loss
From Prithvi Shaw's superb innings and Dinesh Karthik's controversial decision to give Shivam Mavi the last over, Delhi Daredevils issued a statement of intent with a 55-run win. The Twitterati voiced their opinions as Delhi got back to winning ways under the leadership of new captain Shreyas Iyer.
Brief Scores : Delhi Daredevils 219/4 ( Shreyas Iyer 93*, Prithvi Shaw 62; Andre Russell 1/28, Piyush Chawla 1/33) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 164/9 ( Andre Russell 44, Shubman Gill 37; Glenn Maxwell 2/22, Amit Mishra 2/23) by 55 runs.
WOW! What a record
Gautam Gambhir's 122-match streak of representing his teams in the IPL comes to an end. No other player captained in 122 straight IPL matches for the teams they played. #IPL2018 #DDvKKR

What a shot that was!
You bowl to Shubman Gill today and he has already seen the ball yesterday #DDvKKR

What an achievement for the youngster!
Prithvi Shaw equals Sanju Samson's record (from 2013) of becoming the youngest to score a fifty in IPL. Both were 18 years & 169 days old when they achieved the feat. #DDvKKR #IPL2018

Wow! This guy has got a point
@DelhiDaredevils captain was not performing. He stepped down. Team got a performing captain & things changed.

I wish this inspire the Delhi Government Captain/ Malik too & He makes way for someone who can perform. #DDvKKR
KKR will be hoping for the same!
Golden opportunity for Gill to keep his calm and try to get the team through. Hoping Russell provides equal support from the other end. The only hopeful saving grace for KKR (if at all) today. #DDvKKR

Prithvi Shaw’s cricketing career so far..
— Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) April 27, 2018
- 5 centuries in 10 first-class matches
- Won an Under-19 World Cup as captain
- Fifty in just his second IPL match
- Scored 546 in a school tournament in Mumbai
He’s still just 18 years of age!! #DDvKKR
Wow! What a record
Shreyas Iyer is the first CAPTAIN to hit 10 sixes in an IPL inning.
— Sampath Bandarupalli (@SampathStats) April 27, 2018
He is also the first Delhi Daredevils player to hit 10 sixes in an IPL inning. #IPL2018 #DDvKKR
Incredible performance from the veteran
Mishra bowled well today. Bowled in tough conditions and gave less than 6 an over@cricbuzz #DDvKKR
