Twitter reacts to Delhi Daredevils losing Gautam Gambhir's homecoming game
Even though Gautam Gambhir and co restricted a Gayle-less Kings XI Punjab to a paltry total of 143, Delhi Daredevils' batting line-up wasn’t a match for Punjab’s bowling attack. The Twitterati went mental as Punjab defended the lowest ever total in the Kotla and Gambhir losing his homecoming game.
Brief scores : Kings XI Punjab 143/8 (Karun Nair 34, David Miller 26; Liam Plunkett 3/17, Trent Boult 2/21) beat Delhi Daredevils 139/8 (Shreyas Iyer 57, Rahul Tewatia 24; Ankit Rajpoot 2/23 Mujeeb Ur Rahman 2/25) by 4 runs.
Here are the hilarious tweets:
Not cool Ashwin, not cool!
Ashwin dropped this match by dropping inform batsman Gayle.#DDvKXIP

Sometimes you need a bit of craziness to win! :O
Changes galore for both #DDvKXIP. 5 for DD! Predictably, Christian for the misfiring Morriss & Plunkett in for...Roy?! Would’ve got @IamSandeep25 in but with Mishra back I guess they figure they’ve got enough wrist spin alongside Tewatia. If not now....when🤷🏻♂️ #SelectDugout

Time to expose the KXIP middle order. They've been saved because of Gayle-Rahul show till now.#DDvKXIP

Maybe the Delhi Daredevils need to change their name or something - or colour of their jersey... or maybe just believe more.

Something DD... do something to get out of this hole.#DDvKXIP #IPL2018
But Mujeeb had other plans!
DD are winning it tonight. Spin last over isn't a wise move imo. #DDvKXIP #DDvsKXIP
