On a day when Kolkata Knight Riders had to win the match, they failed after they couldn't put up a fighting total and Mumbai Indians were able to chase down the target easily thanks to MI captain Rohit Sharma. Twitterati trolled KKR after they helped SRH go through to the playoffs.

KKR fans right now!

Food for thought!

Yeah for sure Russell has bailed them out very often and Lynn has provided good starts. Not sure #KKR has a good team on paper?

Great all-round performance by KKR!

@iamsrk today KKR played worst game of #IPL2019 , there was nothing gud in today's game, KKR batting was 3rd class, bowling as always hv been D-Grade. Totally Disappointing!!!

Brilliant logic!

Thankyou @mipaltan from @SunRisers fan.. People who are saying that SRH is depending only on two players should know that even KKR is depending on only one player... So it's better to see SRH in playoffs rather than KKR.. #OrangeArmy #srh

Mother of coincidence!

CSK last home match - won

DC last home match - won

SRH last home match - won

KKR last home match - won

RR last home match - won

RCB last home match - won

KXIP last home match - won

MI last home match - won#MIvKKR #KKR #MI #IPL2019

For the first time ever, a team with 12 points has made it through! Insane season!

For all it would've taken is one game of victory for either of RR, RCB, KXIP or KKR to be in the playoffs.

Alas it wasn't to be.

Its the SRH that qualifies with 12 points into an IPL playoffs first time ever.

This is like a CA student getting just about enough to get through.

What a record!

#KKR composed a history today, played 60 dot balls and made #SRH to qualify playoffs just with 12 points. @sports_tak @vikrantgupta73 @rawatrahul9 #MIvKKR #IPL2019
