IPL 2018, DD vs KXIP: 5 talking points

#3 Iyer and Tewatia put up a strong fight

Iyer scored a fighting 57

Following the run out of Daniel Christian, Delhi Daredevils were in deep water up to their necks at 76/5. At this point, Shreyas Iyer was batting and Rahul Tewatia came in to join him. The duo kept Delhi’s hopes alive by playing sensibly and showing a bit of aggression.

The pair added 47 for the 6th wicket from 36 deliveries to keep DD in the game. Tewatia departed at the end of the 18th over after scoring 24 but Iyer was still there. The 23-year-old held his nerve during the final over and brought up his fifty with a six.

He kept Delhi in the match by scoring a boundary in the penultimate delivery. However, he perished in the final ball in an attempt to hit a six. Iyer scored 57 from 45 deliveries.
