MI vs RR: Twitter Reacts As Rajasthan Royals Secure 2nd Consecutive Win In IPL 2022
Updated - 02 Apr 2022, 10:13 PM
Rajasthan Royals (RR) registered their second win on the trot in the IPL 2022 season by defeating Mumbai Indians (MI) by 23 runs in their day game at the DY Patil Stadium on Saturday.
After being put in to bat first, Rajasthan was led by a fantastic knock from Jos Buttler, who brought up his second IPL career century in 65 balls. He scored five massive sixes and eleven fours in his knock.
Buttler was well-aided by cameos from Sanju Samson and Shimron Hetmyer, the latter being responsible for a late burst in the death overs. Although Rajasthan slowed down towards the end, they managed to put up 193 on the board.
In response, MI was jolted early when Rohit Sharma was dismissed by Prasidh Krishna. It was left to Tilak Varma and Ishan Kishan and the youngsters began rebuilding the innings at a quick rate.
Both reached their respective fifties but perished as the asking rate began to climb. It was left to Kieron Pollard in the end but the burly West Indian all-rounder couldn’t do it this time around as MI fell short by 23 runs.
Yuzvendra Chahal was the best of the lot as he picked up 2/26 in four overs and was extremely unlucky as Karun Nair ended up dropping what would have been Chahal’s first hattrick.
Here’s how Twitter reacted to MI vs RR:
Definitely, not the start @mipaltan would have wanted for their #IPL2022 campaign. We're onto another mouth-watering contest between @gujarat_titans and @DelhiCapitals. Who do you think is going to win this one? Batao batao #GTvDC

Two leg spinners, two different stories..
Murgan Ashwin tried to contain runs but ended up giving runs
Yuzvendra Chahal looked towards picking up wickets and got them too.
Moral of the story : Don’t be scared to toss it up ? #MIvsRR

The @rajasthanroyals might well be asking "What was that you were saying about winning only if you chase….."

Two wily spinners turning the game the way of the #RajasthanRoyals at the moment. Top bowling by Ashwin and Chahal.

Shreyas Iyer, Hardik, Sanju, some younger captains are having an overall good early run in the IPL. #IPL2022 #MIvsRR

He shone with the bat, so it's only fitting Jos Buttler is involved in the final action of the game as the Rajasthan Royals win by 23 runs ?

Mumbai Indians are beginning to look extremely dangerous now. They've lost their first two matches in a row.
This can't be good news for their opponents.

Rajasthan Royals won both the matches by defending the total in #IPL2022 – only team to do in this season.

Where is Surya Kumar and what are you guys doing, neither have you bought bowlers, nor are there any batsmen, only one or two people are playing. ?????????

He will take some time to get used to these conditions n bowlers, MI has to promote him at 4 n Tilak plays 1 down, giving him some time to spend on the wicket rather than going from ball 1.Sams surely has lost his place n Fabian Allen will straightaway walk in into side!
