Twitter reacts to Gambhir’s Test innings and KKR’s unexpected loss against Punjab
Kings XI Punjab bounced back in the game twice to win the match. The home side posted a defendable total on the board thanks to the brilliant knock by Maxwell. On the other hand, the KKR side failed to capitalise on the strong start provided by Chris Lynn and faltered to a 14-run defeat.
Rahul Tewatia became the unlikely hero for Punjab fans as his spell of 2 for 18 helped the hosts to secure a 14-run win, which kept their playoff chances alive. Earlier in the day, Punjab posted a total of 167 runs riding on Maxwell’s 44 and that eventually dented Chris Lynn’s brave effort.
Brief Scores: Kings XI Punjab 167/6 (Glenn Maxwell 44, Wriddhiman Saha 38; Chris Woakes 2/20, Kuldeep Yadav 2/34) defeated Kolkata Knight Riders 153/6 (Chris Lynn 84, Sunil Narine 18; Chris Woakes 2/20, Kuldeep Yadav 2/34) by 14 runs
Brilliant observation!
Why #kkr performs better? Because most of the player only work 2 months a year with 10 months holidays. #IPL #KXIPvKKR

That’s why Gambhir won’t make it to the Indian team

The bar is set too high
Just 14 from the first over. Lynn and Narine have obviously decided to start slow and get their eye in 😄😄 #KXIPvKKR

Why wouldn’t KKR win?
Gautam Gambhir becomes the third player to score 5000 runs in India in T20 cricket after Virat Kohli and Suresh Raina. @KKRiders #KXIPvKKR

BCCI predicted the future!
The other day Dhawan and Rohit proved why they are picked for CT and today Gambhir and Uthappa proved why they are ignored #KXIPvKKR

Man of the match for KXIP’s win goes to
#KXIPvKKR Tough competition clearly won by @GautamGambhir for today's man of the match. It was between @im_manishpandey & @GautamGambhir 😂

Seems like not all were happy with Mohit Sharma’s spell
There is only one thing slower than a @ImMohit_Sharma delivery - Snails. Of course, I am insulting the snails 😜#KXIPvKKR #IPL
