Twitter reacts as KL Rahul's incredible knock takes KXIP third on the IPL table
Twitter reacted to KL Rahul's superb innings as he single-handedly led the charge to chase down Rajasthan Royal's target of 153 in the IPL matchup in Indore. The win meant that Kings XI Punjab have leapfrogged the KinghtRiders to go level on points with the Super Kings with a game in hand.
Brief scores: Rajasthan Royals 152/9 (Jos Buttler 51, Sanju Samson 28; Mujeeb ur Rahman 3/27, Andrew Tye 2/24) lost to Kings XI Punjab 155/4 (KL Rahul 84*, Karun Nair 31; K Gautham 1/18, Anureet Singh 1/20) by six wickets
What a transformation!

This will make things interesting
This game is wide open now with not much batting to come. Hope the Royals get a win here as it would make the table look quite tighter #KXIPvRR #VIVOIPL #IPL2018

Safe to say, KXIP fans were not happy
C’mon Punjab stop embarrassing yourself. This isn’t the team we all watched in First Half of IPL. #KXIPvRR

One of the biggest disappointments this year
#KXIPvRR - one of the young talent disappointing continuously in his batting is @mayankcricket. I would expect a lot of runs to prove him in this @IPL hope he will do that in coming matches. @lionsdenkxip @ashwinravi99

Man of the moment!
Well played KL Rahul when the team needs blazing start he can score 14 balls half century and when the team needs responsible innings he can score 44 balls half century. #KXIPvRR
