Twitter goes berserk as MI beat KXIP in a thriller

Mumbai Indians overcame Kings XI Punjab in a nail-biting thriller at the Wankhede. The three-run win had fans on the edge of their seats. KL Rahul was brilliant once again with another 94-run knock. But the man of the moment was Jasprit Bumrah (3/15), who made the difference for the hosts. Here is how Twitter reacted to Mumbai's win over Kings XI.

Sachin of the 90s?

KL Rahul is the Sachin Tendulkar of the 90s. He is the best batsman amongst all and yet his team is losing. #MIvKXIP

Should Yuvi retire?

It Hurts To See Yuvraj Singh, One Of Legends Of Indian Cricket, Man Of The Tournament Of World Cup 2011, Struggle Like This. He Should Consider Retirement Than Ruining His Legacy. 🙏#MIvKXIP #MIvsKXIP

A good point!

Don't play Manoj Tiwary and Yuvraj Singh if you don't believe them to accompany Rahul at the closing overs...Sending Axar Patel ahead of proper batsmen is disgraceful... #MIvKXIP

Rahul in an unwanted list!

Highest scores in unsuccessful chases in IPL:

100 Y Pathan, 2010
95* KL RAHUL, 2018 (v RR)
95 S Marsh, 2011
95 Vohra, 2017
94* Ojha, 2018
94 KL RAHUL, 2018 (v MI)

Two brilliant innings ruined by lack of support from others! #MIvKXIP

Mumbai's win to help RCB?

With MI winning today, RCB won't be knocked out if they lose against SRH (or a washout). #IPL2018 #MIvKXIP

Best death-over bowler shows his magic

Bumrah’s 17th and 19th overs....didn’t concede a single boundary in his spell of four overs in a high scoring encounter on a flat pitch. Well done 👍 #MIvKXIP #IPL
