When Shaw was likened to Lara!

Prithwi Shaw looks like a right handed Brian Lara. #ipl2018 #DDvKKR

Gutted for Gambhir

I would’ve played Gambhir in tonight’s game. He’s #DD’s best player vs Spin. #KKR have plenty of them. He isn’t the first or the only batsman to fail in four innings this #IPL #MyThoughts #DDvKKR

The dance factor!

#DD cheerleaders who were out of practice must’ve got cramps today cause of dancing after so many days. #DDvKKR

Not impressed with DK

Sunil Narine had one over left but what does DK do. Give last over to Mavi. DD give us Gambhir back if you are not playing him. #DDvKKR

The two U-19 Indian cricketers

Very good looking half century from young Prithvi Shaw, batch of 2018. Batting alongside Shreyas Iyer, batch of 2014.
