While Dhull's century was brilliant, let's not forget Sarthak Ranjan's 82! Both teams played exceptionally well. This is exactly why DPL is becoming must-watch cricket - such competitive matches!

As someone new to following Indian domestic cricket, I'm impressed by the quality on display. Dhull's innings reminded me of Kohli's early days. When will we see him in the national team?

Good performance but I hope selectors don't rush him into IPL too soon. Let him develop properly in domestic circuit first. We've seen many talents fade after early hype.

The real winner today was Delhi cricket! Both teams played with such spirit. My son plays U-14 cricket and these matches inspire him so much. More power to DPL! 🙌
