Mumbai made as many as six changes to their squad and yet came out on top against Kolkata. Saurabh Tiwary, who made his season debut, and Yusuf Pathan were two people who caught the attention of the Twitterati - one for playing too slow and the other for playing too fast and recklessly.

How Rohit Sharma was feeling before the match

Not a bad ploy, Saurabh.

Though, not sure scoring 50 off 42 balls will impress any owners, except maybe KKR...

Will he get some points for consistency?

He finally had to run himself out and his batting partner said this. 

Moving over to KKR innings. This fan pulls out this interesting stat - Harsh but maybe true, what say?

Only possible explanation for Chris Lynn getting out to Vinay Kumar

After Yusuf Pathan reached 20 off 6 balls

But then he had to get out the very next ball which evoked some harsh tweets from KKR fans...

Don't know who it is more insulting to.

Sums up the umpiring the season -

Context: Umpiring today - Missed RG Sharma edge on a wide, missed deGrandhomme edge to the Keeper & finally gave Kuldeep caught behind when he didn't edge.
