Talking about the game, the match turned out to be a low-scoring but thrilling encounter.

DC posted a paltry total of 135 runs which proved to be quite a cakewalk for Eoin Morgan's men. The DC bowlers did chip in with wickets when KKR was sniffing a win, but it was Rahul Tripathi's last six that led the team to a stunning win. Now, let's have a look at the tweet by Tripathi.
