Twitter reacts as the rain gods almost take the match away from KKR's grasp
KKR had a scare as the match was nearly washed out after Kolkata had bundled SRH out for a paltry 128. Requiring 48 in 6 overs, KKR couldn't have had a worse start as they lost 3 wickets for 12 runs but captain Gautam Gambhir played a composed knock to lead them to victory.
Brief Scores: Sunrisers Hyderabad 128/7 (David Warner 37; Kane Williamson 24; Nathan Coulter-Nile 3/20, Umesh Yadav 2/21) lost to Kolkata Knight Riders 48/3 (Gautam Gambhir 32*, Chris Lynn 6; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 1/11, Chris Lynn 1/9) by 7 wickets (D/L).
Here are the best tweets from the match:

Just when SRH had steadied their ship....
The wrong 'un from Chawla spins it right for KKR. Warner is castled. SRH: 75/3 in 12.2. #SRHvKKR #IPL #IPL2017

52 off 114 balls have been dots for SRH. Last over to go. Only 121 in 19 overs. Is it enough? #SRHvKKR #IPL #IPL2017

Captain taking the charge...
Jordan bangs one in short. Gambhir goes for the hook. The ball sails over the ropes at deep fine-leg. 20/3 in 1.5. #SRHvKKR #IPL
