Twitter reacts as umpires' efforts to gift KKR win go in vain after Pandya onslaught
Manish Pandey's efforts went in vain after Nitish Rana and Hardik Pandya stood strong and helped Mumbai Indians cross the line after 3 erroneous umpiring decisions. The Twitterati did not spare the umpires as their horrendous mistakes almost cost Mumbai Indians their first victory of the season.
Nitish Rana and Mumbai Indians snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as the home side won their first game of the 2017 IPL by 4 wickets. Rana scored 50 runs off 29 balls and Hardik Pandya’s quickfire 29* helped Mumbai score an astonishing 60 runs in four overs to chase down KKR’s 178.
Brief scores :Mumbai Indians 180/6 (Nitish Rana 50*, Parthiv Patel 30; Ankit Rajpoot 3/37, Sunil Narine 1/22) beat Kolkata Knight Riders 178/7 (Manish Pandey 81*, Chris Lynn 31; Krunal Pandya 3/24, Lasith Malinga 2/36) by 4 wickets.New rule to be implemented soon! The struggle is real
