How Good Is IPL: Danielle Wyatt, Shane Watson Lead Twitter Reactions As KXIP Beat MI In Crazy Game
Updated - 19 Oct 2020, 02:15 AM
After 40 overs and the first super over could not separate the two teams, Kings XI Punjab finally beat Mumbai Indians in the second super over to end a crazy match on Sunday. After both the teams finished on 176 runs in their allotted 20 overs, Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Shami came up with stunning displays to restrict each other’s team on five in the super over.
In the second super over, Mumbai Indians scored 11 and in reply KXIP finished the game with two balls remaining. Chris Gayle hit the first ball bowled by Trent Boult for a six before Mayank Agarwal dispatched the third and fourth deliveries for fours to end the game.
Chasing 177, KXIP were off to a quick start with their openers KL Rahul and Mayank Agarwal adding 33 runs in 20 balls before Jasprit Bumrah dismissed the latter. It was followed by a 42-run stand between Rahul and Chris Gayle then added 42 runs for the second wicket before Rahul Chahal broke the stand by sending back the West Indian.
Nicholas Pooran started in a fine fashion by hitting two fours and two sixes but did not last long as he departed for 24. Glenn Maxwell soon joined him in the pavilion too after registering a two-ball duck, leaving KXIP reeling at 115 for 4. Rahul, on the other end, went on to compile another fifty but departed at a very crucial juncture.
After scoring 77, the KXIP skipper was sent back by Jasprit Bumrah when his side needed 24 runs from 15 balls. The equation was finally down to 9 balls from the last over but Deepak Hooda and Chris Jordan could only manage 8.
Earlier in the game, Mumbai Indians posted 176 for 6 in the allotted 20 overs after their skipper Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. The defending champions were off to a disastrous start as they lost their skipper, Suryakumar Yadav and Ishan Kishan for just 38 runs on the board.
Quinton de Kock and Suryakumar Yadav then steadied the ship by adding 58 runs for the fourth wicket before the latter was sent back by Ravi Bishnoi for 34. De Kock, on the other hand, went on to complete his fifty but he failed to accelerate the run-rate.
Here are some reactions to the match:

Every Indian cricket fan should everyday go to sleep after thanking the Almighty for giving India, @Jaspritbumrah93!

Din Ek, Super over Do.
Bahut Nainsaafi hai.The best thing of 2020, the Indian Premier League for a reason. #MIvsKXIP

last year, at a @forbes_india event during an on stage interaction i introduced jasprit bumrah as a national asset
he blushed and said he wasn’t sure about that description
think it’s apt! I will stick with it#MIvsKXIP#IPL2020— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) October 18, 2020
If your franchise has paid 10.5 cr to Maxwell, you should utilise him even though he is in poor form. Anil Kumble is Vasooli Bhai.

KL Rahul is the first Indian batsman to score 500+ runs in the IPL in 3 consecutive seasons. Amazing consistency from Rahul.

Glenn Maxwell, 9 matches 58 runs. It’s not just that he’s not getting runs, it’s the way he’s getting out.

Whatever said and done I hope there is never a day that the universe’s boss retires! #MIvKXIP #IPL2020 @henrygayle

So much class in this @lionsdenkxip batting line-up. How on earth do they find themselves at the bottom of the table!
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) October 18, 2020
Gayle & Pooran at 3,4. With all teams now playing at least one leg spinner – it’s match-up hell to counter #KXIP. This top four for them would also work in KL’s favor, allowing him to play his game against spin.#IPL2020 #MIvKXIP

The way @henrygayle is able to hold his shape whilst hitting through the line of the ball on the up, is amazing to see. Surely the best T20 entertainer we have so far seen in this shortened format? #KXIPvMI
— Lisa Sthalekar (@sthalekar93) October 18, 2020
Kieron Pollard ????? in the worlds supreme T20 competition. His runs are so often the tough runs to score. #Dream11IPL2020 .

#MI ka sabse important player #pollard
— Irfan Pathan (@IrfanPathan) October 18, 2020
Kieron Pollard having an average of 208 in IPL 2020, he got out only once this season. His Strike Rate is also 200, one of the greatest finisher in the IPL.
— Mufaddal Vohra (@mufaddal_vohra) October 18, 2020
Pollard didn’t play for India, or I’m sure India TV would have confirmed he drinks 4 liter of milk and eats 1kg meat daily. #IPL
