PLAYER OF THE MATCH
Rishabh Pant

More sixes than words tonight from Rishabh Pant then. Envious how some get their priorities right so early in life -- at eighteen for Pant, if you didn't know or weren't jealous enough. Came in to bat one-down, butchered the ball all around and kept Delhi's hopes in IPL 2017 alive. That's it from tonight. Pratyush Sinha bids good night with Ramakrishnan, Raju Peethala, Sriram, Abhinand Raghavendran and Siva. Bask in what Rishabh is going to become. Cheers and ta-ta!

Rishabh Pant - MoM: "Me and Sanju always thought, if we get a bad ball, we will make full use of that. If we get three regularly (consecutively), we will go for the sixes. Most of the times I like to play aggressive, but this was that kind of a wicket where we could play our shots and that's what we did today. We are taking one match at a time and we are doing good at that. So let's continue doing that. Thank you so much (says it like a man of few words would)."

Karun Nair - captain, DD: "Amazing performance. One of the best p'ships I have ever seen. Can't have a plan when you are chasing so much. So glad we could pull this off. We spoke about playing with freedom couple of matches ago, and so happy we are going out there and executing it."

Raina: "I think it is a Rishabh Pant day. He batted really well along with Sanju Samson. We tried everything - the slower ball, yorker - but couldn't stop the runs. The ball started reversing later, but by then the game was over. 206 (208 actually) was still defendable but we didn't bowl well. We miss the experience of Tye and Bravo. Rishabh and Sanju are the future of the Indian team. I have been hitting the ball really well, maybe I would say 20 runs short, but credit to Sanju and Rishabh."

11:36pm local: When Raina was dropped thrice in the first innings, thoughts of Delhi winning weren't fashionable. And they assumed impossible proportions when opener Karun Nair, also the captain, edged an upper-cut to the keeper, getting himself into an embarrassing tangle. But what followed was perhaps Dravid: Rishabh Pant came out to bat at No.3. He missed his first ball, picking it off his pads but that was it for the night. 6 fours and 9 sixes followed in a stunning partnership with Sanju Samson, that connived not only Delhi's highest chase that's also the highest at Kotla, and the second-highest in the IPL ever, but also dumped Gujarat Lions out of IPL 2017. A target of 209 tonight wasn't enough -- what's the day today, eh?

17.3

Faulkner to Corey Anderson, SIX, Delhi have their highest ever run-chase. Anderson gets a full ball and pumps it over long-on to seal what was an easy win in the end

17.3

Faulkner to Corey Anderson, wide, what an anticlimactic end this is turning out to be, geez. Now a ball down leg-side to Anderson

17.2

Faulkner to Shreyas Iyer, leg byes, 1 run, another extra. This time the line's on leg-stump, the ball beats the whip and ricochets off the pad

17.1

Faulkner to Corey Anderson, leg byes, 1 run, slow ball drifting in, deflected off the pads. An extra round the corner, and we are down to three runs

James Faulkner [2.0-0-28-0] is back into the attack

Faulkner will bowl it. Has to. Who wants some drama?

16.6

Basil Thampi to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, here's another. Shuffled across early, and was able to open up the long leg region. Picked the ball up and bottom-handed it over the ropes there. Just 4 needed

16.5

Basil Thampi to Corey Anderson, 1 run, looked slightly surprised by the short ball. Not quite the time to rock back and time the cut, so he's had to make do with a flat-batted smack to wide long-off

16.5

Basil Thampi to Corey Anderson, wide, shocker. Down leg. Would have been a good ball to a right hander

16.4

Basil Thampi to Corey Anderson, SIX, another six. Length ball, around off and Anderson has swung it over deep square leg. It's that sort of a day. 18 sixes already

16.3

Basil Thampi to Shreyas Iyer, 1 run, 134kmph it read but Iyer had the time to close the bat face to backward square and then prod a single there. Took to off his pads

16.2

Basil Thampi to Shreyas Iyer, no run, a short ball at 140kmph outside off. Iyer is slightly late to decide if he wants to upper-cut it. Plays it in the end, only to miss

16.1

Basil Thampi to Corey Anderson, 1 run, off the toe-end. The deliveries are starting to stick in the pitch. Perfect length and width to flat-bat this, Anderson does but can't quite get the timing. On the bounce to long-off

Was a time-out that!

15.6

Sangwan to Shreyas Iyer, SIX, oh just a touch overpitched. And so overpitched that the change of pace doesn't matter much. And to make things worse, Iyer had read it. So waits a little longer and dumps the ball over long-off. More timing than anything else. Connected the ball at the right time and boom, you can hit it with a spoon too. Well, not really. 20 off 24 needed
