Superb job by @KKRiders batsman! Solid knocks by #Nitishrana and #Tripathi and brilliant finish from @DineshKarthik to get them a above par total! Looks like @SunRisers missed a few tricks in the bowling department! #IPL2021 #SRHvsKKR

9. Mohammad Kaif heaps praise on Prithvi Shaw and Delhi Capitals

Missing Shreyas, Axar, Rabada and Nortje but boy did we miss Prithvi in this kind of form. Gabbar tussi great ho! Openers hunting in pairs along with a solid start for the bowlers and captain Pant. #DelhiCapitals #IPL2021

Brilliant start last night for us. Thrilled for @PrithviShaw and his innings, as well as @SDhawan25 picking up where he left off last season. A great base to build from. #IPL2021 pic.twitter.com/ckgExSF2ah

12. Hemang Badani feels that Harbhajan Singh is an underrated bowler in the IPL

Good luck to @harbhajan_singh on his @KKRiders cap. An underrated bowler in the IPL. Truth be told that he has bowled the most dot balls in IPL history #IPL2021 #SRHvKKR

— Hemang Badani (@hemangkbadani) April 11, 2021

13. Aakash Chopra wonders why Kane Williamson is not playing for SRH against KKR

If it’s for the opening spot, one could understand Bairstow for the stellar form he is in. But if it’s for the #4 role, it’s kinda difficult to leave Williamson out….especially on a pitch like Chennai. A niggle to Kane, May be? #SRHvKKR #IPL2021

69 needed off the last 5. Looks like KKR have got the upper hand here. Should be a fun climax! #SRHvsKKR
