IPL 2020 – Twitter Reactions: Shreyas Iyer, Prithvi Shaw’s blistering knocks power DC to 228/4 against KKR

Blistering knocks from captain Shreyas Iyer (88 not out off 38), opener Prithvi Shaw (66 off 41 ) and a fiery cameo from wicket-keeper batsman Rishabh Pant (38 off 17) propelled Delhi Capitals (DC) to 228/4 against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) at Sharjah Cricket Stadium on Saturday.

After a solid start given by Shaw and Shikhar Dhawan (26 off 16), Iyer and Pant showed their class and smashed the KKR bowlers to all parts of the ground, providing an excellent finish to their side. Andre Russell was the pick of the bowlers for KKR with two scalps.

Here’s how Twitter reacted:

229 on any wicket is a monumental target to chase in #T20! It has been an exhibition of 4's and 6's from the @DelhiCapitals batsmen! @ShreyasIyer15 played a brilliant knock & now @KKRiders needs to bat incredibly well to win it from here against a quality bowling side!#IPL2020

What a knock from captain Shreyas Iyer.
He was 9*(8) after 9th over – then changed the gear & ended unbeaten on 88 runs from just 38 balls including 7 fours and 6 sixes. #IPL2020 pic.twitter.com/WfibDW99Ah

Shreyas Iyer is toying around with Pat Cummins. He is a phenomenal talent. @DelhiCapitals
