Mumbai Indians made it look ridiculously easy when they chased down a 199-run target in just 15.3 overs. But instead of Nitish Rana (62 in 34 balls) or Jos Buttler (77 in 37 balls), Twitterati decided to thank Kings XI Punjab bowler Ishant Sharma instead.
His figures of 0/58 in 4 overs were truly terrible and erased his teammate Hashim Amla’s brilliant century in the 1st innings (104* off 60b).
What’s more, Ishant’s figures were as bad as Lasith Malinga’s – who also finished with 0/58 in 4 overs!
Easy bait for Twitter then…
Mumbai Indians Win By 8 Wickets.
Man Of The Match- Sir Ishant Sharma For Reverse Swinging The Whole Match. 🙏🙏🙏#KXIPvMI #MIvKXIP #IPL pic.twitter.com/NIckGojRLH— Sir Ravindra Jadeja (@SirJadeja) April 20, 2017
There was some praise for Mumbai Indians as well – and for the real Orange Cap holder Nitish Rana…
And bonus tweet – when Sunrisers Hyderabad’s account credited butter for the win…
