Twitter reacts to Nitish Rana's masterclass and Andre Russell's cameo
Even though Kolkata were off to a slow start, a wonderful innings by Nitish Rana and a brilliant cameo from Andre Russell helped them reach a solid total of 200 by the end of the 20th over. The fans took to twitter to praise KKR as they started off with a maiden but went on to score 200 runs.
Life of every KKR fan!
Just checked the score and searching for Gambhir name then realized he is playing for Delhi...

So that is why he has been doing this!
DK following odd-even policy of Arvind Kejriwal. Tom Curran on even days, Mitchell Johnson on odd days.#KKRvDD

What a bad DRS decision by Gambhir!
Such a poor DRS from Nadeem, Pant & Gambhir.

So true!
Playing under Gautam gambhir makes you realize how good a captain Kohli is :D

What a delight it was to watch Rana!
What a knock young Rana is playing, clubbing all bowlers to different parts of the ground with 4s and 6s! Could see another 200+ score here

Mohammed Shami today:

v Russell: 40 (9), 6 sixes
v Others: 12 (15), 0 boundaries#KKRvDD
Woah! That is an unbelievable stat!
Fun fact: Andre Russell has scored 114 runs in sixes alone which alone will place him 7th in the orange cap list. @StarSportsIndia #SelectDugout

The real reason behind the hammering! :P
Andre Russell Removes Mask. It's Mohammed Shami's Wife. #KKRvDD #KKRvsDD

1. Faced Rashid Khan and Bhuvneshwar Kumar in IPL debut match.
2. Facing Trent Boult in 2nd match.#KKRvDD
Fun fact!
KKR’s inns:
— Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) April 16, 2018
1st over - 0 runs
20th over - 1 run
Still they have posted 200 runs on board!#KKRvDD
This was too much for Gambhir's DD and they lost the match!
Well played @KKRiders . A complete dominance in batting and bowling. Just a few concerns with bowling department, else things will be absolutely on track. Keep this moment going! #IPL2018 #IPL #KKRvDD #KKRHaiTaiyaar 👍❤️🙏

Lasith Malinga for MI
Harbhajan Singh for MI
Sunil Narine for KKR* #KKRvDD
Just when you thought that they were going to keep winning...
All out in 14 overs. DD, welcome back to your usual self.
— Saurabh Malhotra (@MalhotraSaurabh) April 16, 2018
Looks like you just have to win the toss and choose to bat first to win a match!
Three straight wins for the Team batting first now #KKRvDD

BCCI, please take note!
DD and RCB's games should always be scheduled on back to back days. Always helps to share the disappointment. #IPL2018
