Twitter reacts as Sunrisers Hyderabad start their title defense with a victory over Royal Challengers Bangalore
Sunrisers Hyderabad's title defense started off with a win after trumping a Kohli-less Royal Challengers Bangalore by 35 runs. Usually, the man who stars in Twitter reactions for the wrong reasons, Shikhar Dhawan put up a solid performance by scoring 40 runs off just 31 balls.
Brief scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad 207/4 ( Yuvraj Singh 62, Moises Henriques 52, Stuart Binny 1/10, Yuzvendra Chahal 1/22 ) won by 35 runs Royal Challengers Bangalore 172/10 ( Chris Gayle 32, Kedar Jadhav 31, Rashid Khan 2/36, Ashish Nehra 2/42)
Happiness indeed! :)
Happiness is Watching IPL without Sidhu.

Thank you, Punjab! Forever in your debt!
People of Punjab voted for congress to make sure Sidhu stays away from IPL commentary. Thank you Punjab.
