Twitter reacts to KL Rahul’s ‘brain-dead’ captaincy gifting Mumbai 25 runs off the final over

10/01/2020

After running out of bowlers to bowl the last over, KXIP skipper KL Rahul had to call in off-spinner Krishnappa Gowtham, who conceded 25 runs, including a hattrick of sixes from Kieron Pollard. Ending with figures of 53 runs in 4 overs, Gowtham propelled MI to a monstrous score of 191/4.

God was not happy with Rahul's captaincy

191 is a very competitive total on this ground. Brilliantly paced innings by @ImRo45. An off spinner to bowl against @hardikpandya7 and @KieronPollard55 in the 20th over! 🤦‍♂️#KXIPvMI #IPL2020

Whatta show in the end!

Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya are the most explosive batting duo of #IPL

Could turn the match from any position!

Was a very bad choice in the end to give the ball to Krishnappa Gowtham!

Very disappointing captaincy by KL Rahul😓
