Delhi Capitals have booked their spot in Qualifier 2 and will play Chennai Super Kings tomorrow. Delhi Capitals should thanks Rishabh Pant for his blistering knock of 49 off 21 which took them over the line. Cricket fraternity reacted on the same and showered praises on Rishabh Pant.

It was scintillating performance by Pant!

Absolutely insane from Pant to hole out like that with victory just a few runs away. Such self indulgence can prove costly in this match. Also sends wrong signal to selectors

Khaleel had an over left!

Bowling Thampi in 17th over leaving khaleel turned out to be costly. DC make it to the qualifiers 2 for the first time in @IPL. What a season it has been for the youngest IPL team. #IPL #IPL2019 #SRHvDC #BadriBytes

Amit Mishra made it more dramatic!

Couldn't be more dramatic than this! Young boys first playing superbly then throwing it away @PrithviShaw @RishabPant777 but thank Keemo Paul for the win @DelhiCapitals.#DCvSRH

Rashid bowled a double wicket maiden!

Really exciting to watch @RishabPant777 bat against srh but would like him to finish the games as he truly is a match winner. On an another note brilliant game changing spell by @rashidkhan_19 almost won the game single handedly #IPL2019 #SRHvDC

It has been a great season for young Delhi side!

Great to see two young lads @RishabPant777 & @PrithviShaw play so well with the bat and the experienced Mishra with the ball for @DelhiCapitals. They have brought on the momentum into the Playoffs as well. Great for the Tournament #DCvSRH

Huge Rishabh Pant fan....and also understand that if you live by the sword, you die by the sword too. But it won’t be a bad idea to start finishing off games after bringing the team so close. Crossing the finish line is a tough thing in sport.... #DCvSRH #IPL

Well done @DelhiCapitals but the job is not done yet, good luck against @ChennaiIPL. Vizag are you ready for the 2nd qualifier? Hyderabad is hell ready to host one of the two against @mipaltan in the finals.. #CSKvDC #Qualifier2 #VIVOIPL #GameBanayegaName
