Twitter reacts to Jackson's moon walk and Rahul Tripathi's brilliance
It wasn't KKR's day, to begin with as Robin Uthappa was out of today's game due to an injury. Sadly none of the batsmen could score big but thanks to Manish Pandey and Colin de Grandhomme KKR reached 155. However, RPS chased it down with ease thanks to a wonderful 93 from opener Rahul Tripathi.
Brief Scores: Kolkata Knight Riders 155/8 (Manish Pandey 37, Colin de Grandhomme 36; Washington Sundar 2/18, Jaydev Unadkat 2/28) lost to Rising Pune Supergiant 158/6 (Rahul Tripathi 93, Ben Stokes 14; Chris Woakes 3/18, Umesh Yadav 1/23) by 4 wickets.
Here are the best tweets from today's game:
What an over by Unadkat that was!
