IPL 2016 | Twitter reacts after Axar Patel takes a hat-trick and KXIP beats Gujarat Lions
A hat-trick from Axar Patel and a very good opening partnership saw Kings XI Punjab pick up their second win of 2016 IPL season. This match also saw Axar Patel doing the 'Champions' dance after dismissing Dwayne Bravo and Twitter responded with some interesting tweets throughout the match.
The umpire was clearly not a Glenn Maxwell fan.
Virender Sharma sounds and looks more like a Vodafone super fan. He also umpires like one. Shocking decision. #GLvKXIP #ipl

Just one of those phases in life when nothing will go right.
Glenn Maxwell has such bad luck right now that he can buy every single available lottery ticket and still not win it. #GLvKXIP

The battle of the sponsors. Where the real IPL happens!
IPL is basically a battle between Oppo, Vivo, Gionne and Karbonn #IPL #GLvKXIP

Or they move to Kings XI Punjab and run riot with the ball.
About the time Gujarat gives reservation to Patels. #GLvKXIP

Axar Patel doing the honors getting the first hat-trick of the season.
First hat-trick by a KXIP bowler since Yuvraj took 2 hat-tricks in 2009 IPL. #GLvKXIP

History repeating itself on the same day!
May 1st, 2009 - Yuvraj Singh took first ever hattrick for KXIP in IPL.

Local banter is always fun
Meanwhile Punjab supporters "Game Saddi Aa" answer to "Game Maari Che" #GLvKXIP

Well… nope!
James Faulkner can still score 49 off 18 balls, provided the bowler is wearing a blue jersey & his name is Ishant Sharma#GLvKXIP
