It was total madness at the Wankhede Stadium in Mumbai as Kings XI Punjab held Mumbai Indians to 223/6 to defend their humongous total of 230. 453 runs were scored in 40 overs and fans got their money’s worth.
While Sandeep Sharma and Mohit Sharma were the heroes of the match for their performance with the ball, the electrifying contest also witnessed some freakish power-hitting from Wriddhiman Saha, Glenn Maxwell, Lendl Simmons, Kieron Pollard and Hardik Pandya.
Twitter went crazy after the batting blitzkrieg. Here are some of the best reactions.
Aaj to bahut player me Mata chadh gayeen.But Maxwell & Saha most enjoyable. Last two overs bowling top class.
Feel very proud of the team.— Virender Sehwag (@virendersehwag) May 11, 2017
