9.40pm Munro: Obviously, pleasure to play. I have been on the sidelines, and I had nothing to lose. You just saw the class of Iyer. Prithvi is another name to watch out for in the future. When in doubt, you've got to take the positive option
In his first match as captain in the IPL, Iyer has launched the bottom-placed Delhi Daredevils to the highest score of the season - 219 for 4. He ran amok, particularly in the death overs, hitting 93 off 40 balls. The last four overs went for 76 runs. Count out KKR at your own peril, though. Lynn, Narine, Dre Russ, Karthik all can attack this target. Be back soon for the chase.
Sourav: "Shreyas Iyer's score is enough for SRH to defend and win a match. What about DD bowlers?"
Ayan : "Wow... Talk about leading by example "
