Twitter reacts as Mumbai Indians choke badly on Sachin’s birthday
Even though Mumbai were able to restrict Hyderabad to a total of just 118, the defending Champions crashed in the second innings and ended up scoring only 87. The Twitterati lashed out on the Rohit Sharma and co as they lost a crucial tie at home and on the birthday of Mumbai's favourite son Sachin.
Brief scores : Sunrisers Hyderabad 118/10 (Kane Williamson 29, Yusuf Pathan 29; Mayank Markande 2/15, Hardik Pandya 2/20) beat Mumbai Indians 87/10 (Suryakumar Yadav 34, Krunal Pandya 24; Siddarth Kaul 3/23, Basil Thampi 2/4) by 31 runs.
Here are the hilarious tweets from the match :
Still wondering why SRH bought in Alex Hales!
Have SRH bought @alexhales just to cheer for them or to open the innings #MIvSRH

After hitting 14 sixes in a T20 match, a lot was expected of Saha in the IPL!
Saha has to do something between coming to bat and getting out.. #MIvSRH #IPL2018

And then this happened!
Sachin's birthday cake at Wankhede is simple this time when compared to last year's cake i.e. "I will never cut the Cricket Bat, only the outfield, piercing the gaps."- @sachin_rt 😀💙#SRHvMI #SRHvsMI #HappyBirthdaySachin #SRT45 pic.twitter.com/wdLvBKA2sY
