While the evening began with Twitterati trending Narine's heroics, in between the rains and poor umpiring, it was Raina who stole everyone's hearts and got the CSK fans out of their basements. With a classy 84-run knock, Captain Raina won both the game and the social media.

Brief Scores: Kolkata Knight Riders 187/5 (Robin Uthappa 72, Sunil Narine 42; Suresh Raina 1/11, Praveen Kumar 1/24) lost to Gujarat Lions 188/6 (Suresh Raina 84, Brendon McCullum 33; Nathan Coulter-Nile 2/20, Kuldeep Yadav 2/33) by 4 wickets.

Here are the best tweets from the match:

The team which had no bowlers did this 🙏

The Narine blitzkrieg drew multiple devotees across the country and more!

Fans joined in fat-shaming the Uthappa  .. 

Only to later chew their words!

In true IPL tradition, the umpires kept up their good work

Meanwhile, some stayed true to his name.

And people started wondering if Narine was a part time bastman or a part time bowler.

The day however belonged to Captain Raina!

And the owner of KKR said it best - Let the Rain(a) flow ☔️
