IPL 2021: Twitter Reactions – Delhi Capitals go on top of the table with big win over Punjab Kings

[Brexiter]

Delhi Capitals (DC) opener Shikhar Dhawan remained unbeaten on 69 after facing 47 deliveries as his side beat Punjab Kings (PBKS) by seven wickets in Match 29 of IPL 2021.

Put in to bat first, Punjab’s stand-in skipper Mayank Agarwal smashed a 58-ball 99* and led his team to 166/6 in their stipulated overs.

Mayank became the second batsman after Suresh Raina in 2013 to remain unbeaten on 99 at the end of the innings. He hit two fours and a six off the last three balls of the first innings and stitched a partnership of 52 runs for the third wicket with debutant Dawid Malan (26) and a 41-run stand for the fifth wicket with Shahrukh Khan (4).

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

What a knock @mayankcricket , unfortunate not to get to triple figures but a knock that was fabulous! Felt @PunjabKingsIPL were short by 10 but they can certainly make it up with some disciplined bowling! Looks like an interesting chase for @DelhiCapitals ! #PBKSvsDC
