It was another last ball finish in IPL 2018, as Rahman kept his nerve to win the match for his side.

Shreays Iyer batting brilliantly to keep Delhi in the hunt, but unfortunately he could not hit the final ball for a six to win his team the match.
Ravi Ashwin’s captaincy was on point tonight, as the new KXIP skipper marshaled his troops very well.
Eventually though, Delhi should have crossed the line tonight, and they must feel terrible on losing this one.
Here are the best Twitter reactions!
Has India found a natural 'thinking' captain in @ashwinravi99 or do we still live in the false belief that bowlers don't make good captains? #DDvKXIP

Gautam Gambhir | DD skipper: "In the first six overs when you lose three wickets, you let the opposition back in the game .. Avesh is someone who did really well. Shaw is someone who is also for the future" #DDvKXIP #IPL2018

The last time when Yuvraj was looking in good form was in the Kent RO AD #DDvKXIP

Ideally, isn't this where Maxwell should be batting and finishing it for DD? Might go on to win this but, what's with the batting order? A little confused .. #DDvKXIP

Gutsy! @ashwinravi99 is a gutsy skipper. What a win for @lionsdenkxip. With the kind of firepower at the top we know that they can win with their batting but to defend 143 is something fantastic. A top contender already? #DDvKXIP
