KKR beat Mumbai Indians by 34 runs after posting a massive total of 232 runs. Despite suffering from cramps, Hardik Pandya played a special knock of 91 off 34 deliveries and almost took the game away from KKR's grasp and Twitter lavished praise on the all-rounder for his breath-taking display.

Looks like the God of cricket enjoyed Hardik's innings!

Truly outstanding hitting from @hardikpandya7, but unfortunately he didn’t get enough support from the rest of the team. Congratulations to @KKRiders for a very convincing victory.

Best of Pandya!

There has been some big hitting in this #IPL. But Hardik is taking it to another level

Truly incredible!

Fastest fifties in the IPL for MI:

17 balls - Kieron Pollard vs KKR, 2016

17 balls - Ishan Kishan vs KKR, 2018

17 balls - HARDIK PANDYA vs KKR, Today#IPL2019 #KKRvMI

Unreal hitting!

Hardik Pandya, this is unreal hitting. I can't believe someone can play with so much ease and calmness when there are no batsmen left in the dugout and the required run rate is so high. You gotta continue this in World Cup boy or we are coming for you. #KKRvMI

Unbelievable from Pandya!

Hardik Pandya's hitting has been incredible so far. He's attacked 80% deliveries, striking at 272, and played only 8% false shots. He's packed a punch with a timing rating of 356, scoring 62% of his runs through the 'V' on the on-side..

Pandya was in a different zone today!

After watching Hardik Pandya's mind-blowing innings I don't even remember KKR's innings let alone Russell's.

Pandya👏👏🙌#KKRvMI
