Recently, MS Dhoni's form has been a little sluggish but scoring 8 runs off 22 balls against KKR is borderline criminal, especially in a T20 match. Gautam Gambhir setup an attacking field for the Indian ODI captain and Twitter was quick to pounce onto the banter train with some interesting tweets.

MIRACLE! MIRACLE!

Its a day of Miracle in IPL:

AB & Kohli Scored Century

Can they? The way they are playing, they very well may.

Currently Pune is at the bottom of the table. After this match, will they exit the table#KKRvRPS

Massive Respek!

What made Gambhir stop at four close in fielders, great restraint there. Must be his deep respect for Dhoni as a batsman. #KKRvRPS

Gautam Gambhir not missing any opportunity to troll MS Dhoni in this IPL.#KKRvRPS

For the greater good.

Irfan Pathan must be feeling like Bhura from Lagaan, he sacrifice his wicket for his captain MS Dhoni.#KKRvRPS

A bit too cool by captain cool!

A classy 8* off 22 at SR of 36.36, playing delightful textbook forward defense in the 18th over in a T20, calm & composed. Thala, you beauty
