What an incredible match! The tension in the last over was unreal. As a neutral fan, this is why IPL is the best T20 league in the world. Credit to GT for holding their nerve. Prasidh Krishna bowling that final dot was clutch.

With all due respect to the team, DC's middle order collapsed again. Miller and Stubbs should have finished it easily. Why send Kuldeep ahead of someone like Ashutosh Sharma as an Impact Sub? The strategy needs a relook, bhai.

Feel so bad for KL Rahul. He's been in great form, but the team just can't get over the line in these close finishes. Hopefully this doesn't affect their confidence for the rest of the season. The tournament is still long! 🤞

Shubman Gill's captaincy was spot on. Bringing Prasidh for the last over was a bold move that paid off. GT's fielding won them this match, no doubt. That direct hit will be replayed for days!

As a DC supporter since the first season, these one-run losses are a special kind of pain. We always find new ways to lose close games. Need to learn from teams like CSK on how to win the crunch moments. 😢
