Twitter reacts to Faf du Plessis' brilliant innings handing CSK a berth in the IPL final
After a brilliant display of bowling by Chennai Super Kings, their in-form batsmen failed to show up in the all-important game against SRH. But Faf du Plessis rose to the occasion and showed that experience matters in games like this and the Twitterati praised him for getting CSK to the final.
Brief
Dhawan departs early! Courtesy the brilliant ball from Deepak Chahar!
Dhawan getting frustrated first time ever after getting Out. Always lefts ground with a smile even if gets 0.

It's disheartening for me , he himself knew today was his day but 😭#SAvIND #INDvSA
That was one hell of a disappearing act!
Shikhar dhawan is a magician I guess, he disappeared from the field within a few seconds 😂😂😂😂#SRHvCSK

First 2 Overs : 22/1
Next 2 Overs : 8/0#SRHvCSK
But it was shadowed by this controversial decision!
Umpiring at its worst best!!!!!

That was ball slipped from Chahar's hands. It was a mistake of bowler, punishment was given to batting team as it was Dead (Dot) Ball and not a No Ball.#SRHvCSK #Playoffs #IPL

SRH fans before Carlos Brathwaite went mad!
Carlos Brathwaite is easily the worst cricketer in the history of the game to have ever been hailed as a hero. Biggest fluke ever. Awful, awful player.

But CSK had other plans!
If it's not Rayudu it'll be Watson if not Watson it'll be Dhoni if not Dhoni it'll be Bravo if not Bravo it'll be Raina and today it's Faf & Thakur.

What an innings from Faf! Note: Faf might be the only South African who hasn't choked while chasing!
One man show! Stand up, roar whistles! Take a bow Faf! #WhistlePodu #Yellove #Qualifier1 #SRHvCSK 🦁💛

People made fun of CSK for RTM-ing Faf!
So this is why CSK used an RTM on Faf! What an innings! Take a bow son! #FAF #CSKvSRH

Shardul Thakur: The mastermind!
Shardul Thakur single-handedly made this game interesting.
— Bharath Seervi (@SeerviBharath) May 22, 2018
First conceded 50 runs in 4 overs to get SRH a decent total.
Then scored 15 off 5 with 3 fours to chase it down! #CSKvSRH
