IPL 2016 | Twitter reacts as Gayle fails again, ABD and Binny take stunners, and Mumbai Indians beat RCB

05/11/2016

Royal Challengers Bangalore slumped to another defeat, and this time it was their batsmen who failed them against Mumbai Indians. Chris Gayle's failure with the bat, Binny and de Villiers' stunning catches and Hardik Pandya's omission saw many interesting tweets. Here are the best ones.

Dirk Nannes asking some important questions..

Why is a confessed match fixer welcomed on a cricket show and treated like royalty? How is that even possible?

Virat Kohli had lost his seventh toss in 10 matches in this IPL. He should avoid all poker nights he is invited to...

Who would have thought at the start of this IPL that Krunal would become a regular fixture in the team, while Hardik would be dropped..

Hardik Pandya dropped. A guy who claimed to be India's Kallis has ended up being Joginder Sharma. Take that #RCBvMI

Hardik Pandya's performance dropped faster than Anant Ambani's weight #RCBvMI

This is one way of making sure that the bowlers are not taken to the cleaners...

So for the first time RCB bowlers will concede less than 170 runs in this IPL, their batsmen have made sure of that #MIvRCB #RCBvMI

Has this not been the case every season?

RCB have more adverts than points they will end up with. #IPL #RCBvMI
