Twitter reacts to Rashid Khan single-handedly taking Sunrisers Hyderabad into the IPL final
It was the Afghan Rashid Khan who had a field day as he followed up his 34 off 10 balls with 3 wickets to guide SRH into the final of the 2018 IPL. SRH fans couldn't hold their emotions as they took on to Twitter to express their joy on the brilliant display by Rashid Khan in a must win game.
Brief
SRH fans won't be happy with these decisions!
Dropping Sandeep Sharma is just a pathetic decision by #SRH. Why would you drop someone who has been so consistently good? Shocking! #IPL2018

Manish Pandey dropped, I didn't see that coming. Huge blow
— Nikhil 🏏 (@CricCrazyNIKS) May 25, 2018
so #SRH have dropped the player they spent most on for a knockout game #SRHvKKR
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) May 25, 2018
SRH weren't the only team to drop bombs today!
1⃣ change made by Skipper DK, as Shivam Mavi comes in for Javon Searles.

One team's gain is another team's loss! :P
Huge set back for KKR..... SRH dropped Manish Pandey.....

Saha in for Manish Pandey didn't make a huge difference anyway!
Manish Pandey of the day - Saha #SRHvKKR

Expectation vs reality! :P
I was hoping for saha to get out, but Dhawan got out 🙈

DK masterclass!
Brilliant keeping by Karthik.. Dropping Saha and not allowing Williamson to come to bat. #SRHvKKR
— Piyush Sharma (@misterpiyush) May 25, 2018
Then something unbelievable happened!
Piyush Chawla has taken an unbelievable catch. One brilliant Superman fielder retires, other brilliant fielder continues the legacy.

Breathtaking catch by Piyush Chawla. The dangerous Pathan is gone. #KKR #AmiKKR #KorboLorboJeetbo #KKRvSRH #IPL2018 #VIVOIPL #PerfectFan #IPL2018Playoffs #KKRHaiTaiyaar
— Joshua D'souza (@TheJoshuaDsouza) May 25, 2018
Oh well, it was good while it lasted!
After that last catch, Piyush Chawla felt he was 7 feet tall. And started fielding like he was 7 feet 2 inches.#KKRvSRH

And then this is what Rashid did after Piyush Chawla dropped his catch!

As usual, Narine gives a cracking start to KKR!
Sunil Narine has already wiped off most of Rashid Khan's runs.

Then it was time for Rashid Khan to shine with the ball!

Even the magician itself acknowledges Rashid's talent!
As a leg spinner I love seeing all the different types of leg spinners playing in the #IPL but watching @rashidkhan_19 bowl in these big games makes me proud as he loves this stage & pressure it also gets me excited ! 👍

And SRH are through to the final!
Wohhhh! Great win by #SRH to qualify for finals.

Surely the difference between two teams was Rashid Khan. What a player 🙌
He did his job with both bat & bowl. Even field too taking those 2 crucial catches at the end. Congratulations @SunRisers for 2nd final. #KKRvSRH #IPL2018
