Legends and Pundits react as Kolkata Knight Riders make way for Sunrisers Hyderabad

Parting @IPL thoughts.



1. RCB, RR & KIX need new coaching staff.

2. Pant will now excel with his non selection for the CWC. He’ll be a star.

3. Gill is India’s next superstar.

4. India is amazingly beautiful with the most generous, kind & loving people.



❤️🇮🇳

Cakewalk for Mumbai, party time for Hyderabad, lights out early in Kolkata

So, first time in the history of the #IPL, a team with 12 points will qualify for the playoffs. Three teams locked on same points. I’m convinced that it’s because of VVS Laxman’s good karma that #SRH will make it 🤗🙈🥳

Even the mighty Andre Russell can have a day like this. A first ball duck, 2 overs for 28 and an emotional display on the field.

.@NitishRana_27 had a strike rate of 200 today but why on no 6? didn't he set the stage on fire batting up in the earlier games? Expected much more from @KKRiders batting, @robbieuthappa too slow in a crucial match.#MIvKKR
