Delhi Capitals edged past Sunrisers Hyderabad in an enthralling encounter that went down the Super Over at MA Chidambaram Stadium in Chennai. David Warner and Jonny Bairstow could only manage seven runs off Axar Patel in Super Over. In reply, Rishabh Pant and Shikhar Dhawan scurried away to the target on the last ball.

Although Kane Williamson failed to guide his team across the finishing line, his innings was a masterclass on how to negotiate the attack on the surface like Chepauk.
Kane Williamson does not go under-praised, by any stretch of the imagination, but that was a beautiful knock. Not many players in the world that can do that, with the minimal risk he offered. #IPL2021 #SRHvDC

It was Jagadeesha Suchith’s late cameo that reignited the chase for the Sunrisers.
Outstanding from Suchith. And, fair to say, only Williamson could have taken them that far with the scant support he had

Many were amused by SRH’s decision of not sending Bairstow in the Super Over.
Why is Bairstow not batting in this super over for @SunRisers !! Best top order batter in the world at the moment #IPL2021
