Despite conceding nearly 27 runs off two overs, Delhi Capitals managed to hold on to a tie, which took the clash to a super over. In the super over, SRH could only score seven runs, which was promptly chased down by DC’s skipper Rishabh Pant, who scored a crucial boundary in the super over.

Unless Bairstow was in toilet, can't get why would he not be your first choice in a #SuperOver when he scored 38 of 18 in the main innings and looked the cleanest hitter. Baffling, Hyderabad fought well but have only themselves to blame for strange decisions. #SRHvsDC

Impressive

What a captaincy by Pant

Trusting Axar over someone who has single-handedly won you 2 super overs✅

And then taking the responsibility into his own hands✅

MISSION ACCOMPLISHED for Captain Rishabh Pant✅

My Captain 🔥❣️#DCvsSRH #Pant pic.twitter.com/4Gp44VS8v9

Williamson's master class in vain. But, credit to @RishabhPant17 for taking the lead in Super over. What a finish!

Why no Jonny Bairstow in super over

How’s Warner put himself in ahead of bairstow in super over. Egotistical Aussie dick!!!

David Warner has all the right to be dissapointed. SRH has so much raw talent in middle order but somehow either captaincy or team management needs a change. Rishabh pant is having time of his life. #SRHvDC
