Twitter reacts to Raina's amazing catch and M.S.Dhoni lets his fans down yet again
Gujarat finally got their glory that they were chasing since the start of the IPL. Suresh Raina started off things with an amazing catch to remove Ajinkya Rahane. But the real hero was Andrew Tye who took the 2nd Hat-trick of the day. They completed the job by chasing down 172 with 2 overs to spare.
An Andrew Tye hattrick and a vintage display of power hitting by Dwayne Smith and Brendon McCullum secured Gujarat’s first win of the 2017 campaign. Steve Smith marked his return to the side with a 28-ball 43, but a lower order collapse resulted in Pune managing a sub par score of 171.
Brief scores: Rising Pune Supergiants 171/8 (Steve Smith 43, Rahul Tripathi 33; Andrew Tye 5/17, Dwayne Smith 1/10) lost to Gujarat Lions 172/3 (Brendon McCullum 49, Dwayne Smith 47; Shardul Thakur 1/14, Rahul Chahar 1/26) by 7 wickets.
That's a great achievement by Raina!
Suresh Raina become first player to play 150 matches in IPL history...
