Twitter reacts as Kings XI Punjab "drops" the match against Sunrisers Hyderabad
BCCI
From Kings XI Punjab’s astonishingly poor fielding that helped Manish Pandey get his half-century, to Rashid Khan’s mind-boggling bowling to dismantle Punjab’s in-form batting line-up, the Twitterati went mad as the high-octane game swung like a pendulum before SRH eventually emerged victorious.
Brief Scores : Sunrisers Hyderabad 132/6 (Manish Pandey 54, Shakib Al Hasan 28; Ankit Rajpoot 5/14, Mujeeb-ur-Rahman 1/17) beat Kings XI Punjab 119/10 (KL Rahul 32, Chris Gayle 23; Rashid Khan 3/19, Basil Thampi 2/14) by 13 runs.

Year 2018 : Virat kohli is a legend and pandey ji is still talented 😊😊#SRHvKXIP
First Kaul, then Chahal and now Rajpoot!
Ankit Rajpoot Abusing Senior Player Like Shikhar Dhawan. 👎#SRHvKXIP

3 Overs, 9 Runs And 3 Big Wickets Of Shikhar Dhawan, Saha And Kane Williamson. Great Bowling By Ankit Rajpoot But That's Not The Way To Celebrate Your Wicket By Abusing Your Seniors. Not Cool. 👎#SRHvKXIP #SRHvsKXIP pic.twitter.com/NmFm02jTyl

Have to applaud Pandey's presence of mind!
Umpires don't spot No Ball on which Shakib was caught out
— Benedict John (@john_benedict) April 26, 2018
Manish Pandey spots it at the nonstriker and protests with da umpire who den asks for review and give Shakib Not Out eventually.
Imagine a nonstriker spotting it which da umpire missed.Incredible#SRHvsKXIP #IPL2018

The Sunrisers' lucky!! All the missed chances and dropped catches by the Kings XI is a gift from the gods. But disappointing for the KXIP fans. Terrible fielding #SRHvKXIP #IPL2018

Dear troller he may played test knock but that knock surely helped to @SunRisers to get past 120 #SRHvKXIP

What a team #SRH has 😱
What if David Warner opens this batting and Bhuvi finishes the death over😱
Can't imagine a better team. #IPL2018 #SRHvKXIP
And he is just 19 years old!
2/11 in 4 overs in the last game to bowl out the defending champions for 87 in their home ground and now returns to his home ground and bags 3/19 in 4 overs to run through the batting line-up of one of the most balanced sides this season. Rashid Khan! 👏#SRHvKXIP
