The race for the Top 4 is heating up and this was a match for KXIP had to win. Chasing a tough target, KL Rahul, who scored 79 off 56 balls, could not accelerate in the powerplay which was one of the reasons why KXIP lost the match. This is how the cricketing fraternity reacted to the same.

This is insane! Warner! _/\_

Innings/Fifty-Plus score for David Warner:

1.70 - Against KXIP in the IPL (10 in 17)

1.71 - For SRH in Hyderabad (17 in 29)

1.79 - In Twenty20s in Hyderabad (19 in 34)

1.97 - For Sunrisers Hyderabad (36 in 71)#IPL2019 #SRH #SRHvKXIP

Brilliant team performance by SRH!

Fair result. 213 gets chased down 1 in 100 times. @davidwarner31 has almost taken his team to the play offs before he leaves. They will need one more win. @rashidkhan_19 was special and Khaleel has been very very good since making a comeback.

KL Rahul shouldn't carry all the blame!

Can't blame KL alone but he was too slow in PP, something that has cost KXIP. But plenty else wrong with them. Changes, Plans, Miller not performing

It will interesting to see how SRH win the rest of the games without their star performers!

.@SunRisers clearly a very strong bowling unit, they've got a good win but got to plan without @jbairstow21 , @davidwarner31. @klrahul11 ended up as the lone warrior.#SRHvKXIP

I can not express my gratitude enough to the @sunrisershyd family for your support, not just this season but also for the last year. It’s been a long time waiting but it was great to be back amongst the boys. Owners, support staff, players, social media team and the fans thank you very much for welcoming me back with open arms. I thoroughly enjoyed being back out there swinging that willow. Good luck to the guys for the rest of the tournament and finish . #family #orangearmy #humbull #hashtag

This is why we should be happy with KL Rahul's innings!

Interestingly, I think the runs KL Rahul has scored for #KingsXI and the amount of time he has spent batting might just benefit India more at the World Cup.

Or maybe not?

This #IPL Rahul has played a few innings where he hasn’t accelerated when the team/situation demanded him to. Not a good sign for a man in form. I like the last year’s version of Kamaal Lajawaab.
