Twitter reacts to Ben Stokes' brilliant innings and Tahir's celebration
After Gujrat failed to capitalize on a great start, RPS failed to induce any start at all but crossed the finish line thanks to an incredible innings by Ben Stokes. While he received big praise, the Twitterati saved some harsh words for Dhoni and a rare mention of the "RPS legend", Ashok Dinda!
Brief Scores : Gujarat Lions 161/10 (Brendon McCullum 45, Ishan Kishan 31; Imran Tahir 3/27, Jaydev Unadkat 3/29) lost to Rising Pune Supergiant 167/5 (Ben Stokes 103*, MS Dhoni 26; Pradeep Sangwan 2/38, Basil Thampi 2/35) by 5 wickets.
Here are the best tweets from the match
The way Tahir is playing, he actually might
I live just few kms away from Pune. I might get a chance to high-five Tahir if he sprints in the right direction :P#RPSvGL #IPL2017

No argument on that one
Gujarat Lions would've totally nailed the Six6 format - 20 overs is way too many for their non-existent attention spans#RPSvGL
