IPL 2018: Twitterati can't believe Dhoni lost today

Chennai Super Kings suffered their first loss of the season despite a heroic effort by MS Dhoni. Batting first, Kings XI Punjab had set a target of 198. Dhoni's unbeaten 79-run innings meant that the game went till the last ball as CSK fell short of 4 runs. Twitterati went into a frenzy, here are some of the best reactions.

Chennai hit by the Gayle storm

CSK must be wondering why they didn’t buy Chris Gayle. He is certainly old enough for them.

Difference between a good investment and a bad one

Gayle went unsold in the 1st round of auctions. And people paid 11.5 cr for Unadkat. Just saying. #KXIPvCSK

Chasing a 200+ target, RCB missed him tonight

The Universe Boss is here tonight! Rahul and Gayle tee-ing off. 75 in the power play. Must be tough on #RCB fans.
