Twitter reacts as Ravindra Jadeja "drops" the match against KKR
Kolkata Knight Riders have exacted sweet revenge of their first leg loss to Chennai Super Kings by beating the visitors by 6 wickets. Twitterati, however, had a field day after Ravindra Jadeja literally dropped the match in 2 consecutive balls which took the game away from Chennai's hands.
Brief scores: Chennai Super Kings 177/5 (MS Dhoni 43*, Shane Watson 36; Sunil Narine 2/20, Piyush Chawla 2/35) lost to Kolkata Knight Riders 180/4 (Shubman Gill 57*, Dinesh Karthik 45*; Harbhajan Singh 1/20, KM Asif 1/32) by 6 wickets
One man is pulling the crowds from Chennai to Kolkata! Dhoni! _/\_
The support for #CSK on the road has been one of the events of #IPL2018 for me. Much of it is down to the Dhoni factor. Only comparison I can think of is Sachin & #MI in #IPL1 back in 2008

Who would've thought Chawla would hold this record! :O
Piyush Chawla becomes the 1st bowler to take 50 wickets each for two teams in @IPL :-

☞ 84 wkts in 87 games for @lionsdenkxip (2008-13)
☞ 50 in 51 games for @KKRiders (2014-18)
Still an underrated bowler in IPL.#KKRHaiTaiyaar #KXIP#KKRvCSK #WhistlePodu #IPL11 #IPL2018
And then this happened just before Dhoni came in to bat!

Dhoni has still got it!
Most sixes in 2018 IPL:

Fun fact!
Dhoni v Narine in IPL:
— Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) May 3, 2018
25 runs off 52 balls at SR 48.10 and ZERO boundaries.
Dhoni is the only batsman to face 50+ balls against a bowler in IPL without hitting a boundary.
Also, his SR v Narine is the lowest for a batsman v bowler in IPL (min. 50 balls). #KKRvCSK

So that's why Gill dropped the catch...
Shubman gill Drops A Dolly. Forget Bowlers, Even Fielders Are Under Pressure When MS Dhoni Is On The Crease. 💪💛 #WhistlePodu #Dhoni

The umpire should just give the wicket, haven't they heard of "Dhoni Review System"?
Once dhoni took a review.. Better the batsman should pack up and start walking to the pavilion , what a review by Mahi😘😘 #CSKvsKKR

Then Jaddu dropped those catches!
2 Catches Dropped In 2 Balls By Sir Jadeja. Don't Blame Me. It's Really Difficult To Focus On The Ball And Twitter At The Same Time. 🙄 #KKRvCSK #KKRvsCSK
— Sir Ravindra Jadeja (@SirJadeja) May 3, 2018
Why is he still in the team!
Ravindra Jadeja, the only player in the history of IPL who played 8 games in a row for a franchise not as a batsman or a bowler but as a fielder.

Hope Dhoni got the hint!
Sir Jadeja, by dropping the catches, was actually hinting Dhoni to drop him from the team. Such a selfless cricketer! Team man to the core! Legend! #IPL #CSK

What an innings by this young lad!
Shubman Gill gets to bat in the top order for the first time this season and he delivers with a match-winning fifty.
— Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) May 3, 2018
He was sent in at No.7 four times and No. 6 once before getting to bat at No. 4 today. #KKRvCSK
CSK are perfectly poised to win in the finals if they meet KKR! :P
