IPL 2018: Twitter in awe of Pant's record breaking century
What's the story
Rishabh Pant's brilliant century went in vain as Sunrisers Hyderabad secured a nine-wicket victory over Shreyas Iyer's side. Dhawan and Williamson made a mockery of target posted by Delhi (186) as they chased it down with 7 balls to spare. With this win, Sunrisers became the first team to book their place in play-offs. Here are the best reactions from Twitter.

Pant slams highest score in IPL by an Indian
Really special innings from Rishabh. Those were not bad balls from Bhuvi in the last over barring the last full toss, but Rishabh Pant is really special and I hope he is nurtured well. #DDvSRH
