Hyderabad defeated Delhi by 9 wickets and proved why the team deserve to be on the top of the standard list. Shikhar Dhawan became the man of the match.
Delhi's young player Rishab Pant played a tremendous inning and made 128 runs from just 63 balls fetch the orange cap on his shining head. Well, no batsmen stood for long and played a disappointing batsmanship. SRH's Shakib Al Hasan took 2 wickets of DD, while Bhuvneshwar took a single one.
"I think it was a brilliant total to get up to where we did. The way Rishabh carried on was extremely commendable. The pitch got better and better. It played a huge role. I think we didn't get that many opportunities. They played really good cricket. I think we didn't deserve to win this. It's going to be really important as a young side to keep togetherness. We will try to win our remaining games and boost morale. These games are a great learning process for playing for India in the future," Iyer said after the match.
