Twitter reacts to Lasith Malinga's doppelganger and Rohit Sharma's consistency
When Malinga saw his doppelganger on the big screen, it brought a smile to his face and the Twitterati didn't miss it. Rohit Sharma, once again, was consistent in his poor form this IPL as Mumbai failed to chase done 154 and ended up with a tie. Thanks to Bumrah, Mumbai won it in the super over.
MI responded to the defeat against RPS by beating GL by in a thrilling contest at Rajkot that needed a super over to provide a result. Earlier, a last ball run out by Ravindra Jadeja had taken the game into the first super over of IPL 2017 after Mumbai had needed 11 off the last over. Brief Scores: Gujarat Lions 153/9 (Ishan Kishan 48, Ravindra Jadeja 28; Krunal Pandya 3/14, Jasprit Bumrah 2/32) lost to Mumbai Indians 153/10 (Parthiv Patel 70, Krunal Pandya 29; Basil Thampi 3/29, James Faulkner 2/34 ) in the super over.
Ishan Kishan - IPL's newest gem!
Wow! 18 years old Ishan Kishan taking on International bowlers..
