Cricketing fraternity left stunned as Delhi Capitals snatch defeat from jaws of victory
The IPL never ceases to surprise you. Yesterday, Delhi Capitals had seven wickets in hand and had to score only 23 from 21 balls against Kings XI Punjab but they only scored eight runs and lost seven wickets in the next 17 balls. The cricketing legends were shocked at this epic collapse.
The Delhi co-owner was pissed!
Must learn from these last two games - to lose from such a winning position is not good. Batsmen have to take more responsibility and finish the game off @DelhiCapitals

Unbelievable!
Delhi Capitals required 23 off 21 balls with 7 wickets in hand. The next 17 balls brought seven wickets and just eight runs. WW•111W•1wdW••W•4•WW. #IPL #KXIPvDC

Ian Bishop has a point! The youngsters will bounce back!
Well, that was an exciting culmination. Delhi Capitals will be disappointed that they didn’t apply the lessons learnt from the previous game. They are a young team and need to learn quickly. But KXIP won’t be complaining. #VIVOIPL 2019.
