It was a reversal of roles yesterday, Sunrisers Hyderabad choked and Delhi Capitals surprisingly did not. Even though 150 was a gettable target, SRH's middle order collapsed quickly and failed to reach that. Cricketers and legends had different things to say about the Delhi Capitals win.

That passionate celebration by Dada! :)

Fantastic to win 3 on the trot. Total team effort today by the boys and feel very happy for young Keemo Paul. Always great to see Dada happy and upbeat. May we carry on with the momentum. @DelhiCapitals #SRHvDC pic.twitter.com/n652r2gdhW

3 drops, are you kidding me!? :O

3 in 3 for @DelhiCapitals second in the table. Best in a few years for them. Sunrisers should have surely got this. Misread the pitch? Turned slower. Paul’s ball reaches Pant on 3 drops and that was sign enough.

Give it to them already!

Wow! That’s extreme honesty from Keemo Paul walking to a LBW shout. Should take DC right to the top of fair play award. 😋

Rabada the man!

.@DelhiCapitals has been brilliant on the road. Winning all three away games. Rabada is killing it #SRHvDC

As long as there is Jasprit Bumrah, it is going to be tough!

#KagisoRabada will dominate the world cricket in the years to come... what an athlete. #SRHvDC #VIVOIPL #GameBanayegaName

Both of them did well, but sadly the middle order didn't! :(

Full marks to @BhuviOfficial his experience and hard work reflected in his variations (last over) @DelhiCapitals too have a good attack, let's see how @davidwarner31 and @josbuttler take them on.#DCvSRH

From chokers to Title contenders!

I’m getting to fancy #DelhiCapitals. Team’s been mercurial no doubt, but has talent to beat any side in the IPL. Bowling’s looked sharp, with Rabada exceptional. Need consistency in batting, especially from young guns Shaw & Pant, to be serious title contenders

Harsha Bhogle blamed the pitch for the loss!

#SRH look a bit like they are caught in quicksand. Going nowhere just deeper. No pace in this track at all.
