IPL 2016 | Twitter reacts as Gambhir drops Kohli after a mini Gayle-storm

05/16/2016

Gautam Gambhir dropped Virat Kohli during a chase which was the last thing KKR needed defending a steep total against RCB. Chris Gayle finally showed glimpses of his old self as Kolkata witnessed a mini Gayle-storm and Twitter got their keyboards out to come up with some interesting tweets.

Gayle babu Rocking!

Gayle just too cute on camera. Laughing away and having his gold chains thump against the mic. Eden Gardens thought Bappi da has shown up 👻👑

Gautam Gambhir creating records.

More records, not one he would want though.

20th run out dismissal for Gambhir in T20s - joint-most for a batsman. Jayawardene has also been run out 20 times. #KKRvsRCB

The number of run-outs he is a part of is just way too high.

That was a horrendous decision to give the last ball a wide.

Virat Kohli just verbally stripped the umpire.

Umpire: This is the IPL, our incompetence makes the tournament what it is#KKRvRCB

Amen!

Still better umpire than IPL umpires.#KKRvRCB pic.twitter.com/wEyOZgwlrF

The genius called Virat Kohli.

700 Runs for Virat Kohli in this season first Indian to cross this in any season and third player overall after Gayle and M Hussey..

Dropping Kohli is boo boo!

Fun Fact : It is a criminal offence to drop Virat Kohli in some countries. In india, you're allowed! #KKRvRCB
— David De Geasm (@Chaseeism) May 16, 2016

When the two best batsman in the world come together, records are bound to tumble.

800* runs between @Virat_Official and ABD in this IPL.

No other pair has added even 700 runs in

any T20 series/tournament. #KKRvRCB

Stuff of nightmares, indeed.

In and out: Gambhir's drops sitter of Kohli and has lost his sleep for the night certainly- apart from possibly the match
