IPL 2019 | Twitter reacts to Unadkat's stunning catch and Mumbai's record title
Mumbai Indians snatched victory from the jaws of defeat as they defended a score of 130 runs, denying Rising Pune Supergiant their maiden IPL title by 1 run. However, the Twitterati were more interested in Jaydev Unadkat's one-handed catch and Steve Smith's innings that eventually went in vain.
Brief Scores: Mumbai Indians 129/8 (Krunal Pandya 47; Rohit Sharma 24; Jaydev Unadkat 2/19, Adam Zampa 2/32) beat Rising Pune Supergiant 128/6 (Ajinkya Rahane 44, Steve Smith 51; Mitchell Johnson 3/26, Jasprit Bumrah 2/26) by 1 run.
Here are the best tweets from the game:
Before we begin, this statement is a perfect way to celebrate a Legend

Mumbai were rescued thanks to Krunal, which raised this point
Think Krunal Pandya deserves a shot in the Indian T20 team ahead of Hardik. Better bowler and more sensible batsman.

Krunal does look like the guy in this ad - hope he gets lucky too

Dhoni fans were happy because of Krunal
Come on Pandya ! Please score enough runs and then take enough wickets so that people can see Dhoni finish the match with a six.#IPLfinal
— The-Lying-Lama (@KyaUkhaadLega) May 21, 2017
And some other fans were thankful that Krunal made a match of the final
Krunal Pandya to get the Sony Six "Thank you for making the game somewhat interesting... we desperately need TRPs" award.

On the other hand, what a wonderful story the Indian bowlers for RPS have been
#RPS Overseas bowlers are leaking runs while Indian bowlers are saving runs & taking wickets. lolzz 😂#IPLfinal #RPSvMI

Special mention to Unadkat - this stat speaks for itself
Unadkat finishes with 24 wickets this season at a strike rate of 11.40 balls per wicket. He never once went wicket-less. #IPL #IPLFinal

Cricket apart, this statement is GOLD!
With MI's bowling, we've got a match. With MI's money, we could have an industry, a country, a continent. #IPLFinals
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) May 21, 2017
Not fair, Rohit.
If this was Gully Cricket other players would have questioned Rohit, how Krunal Pandya got bowling just after batting? #IPL
— Silly Point (@FarziCricketer) May 21, 2017
But then Krunal did this after a few overs when Rahane was batting
krunal pandya dropped the IPL 2017
