IPL 2018: Twitter reacts to KXIP beating CSK

The second match of the double-header at the Vivo IPL 2018, between Kings XI Punjab and Chennai Super Kings at Mohali, proved to be another pulsating contest.

After Chris Gayle's breathtaking assault (63 off 33 balls), the P.C.A stadium bear witnessed to a masterclass from MS Dhoni (79 off 44 balls), as the vile former Indian Captain despite battling a back injury, took CSK within inching distance of chasing the target of 198.

Here's a look at how Twitter reacted to the match:

K L Rahul is the second most skilled Indian batsman (across three formats) after Kohli. Delight to watch. Blessed cricketing country. #KXIPvCSK #IPL

Wonderful to see a full house in Mohali. Over the years been one of two grounds that didn't always go full. And, it is noisy!

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

Youngsters are the toast of this IPL thus far. Almost every team has seen younger...lesser known players coming to the fore. New narrative building. Loving it. #KXIPvCSK #IPL

Yuvraj is the only hope for CSK now. #KXIPvCSK

CSK loses, but Dhoni clearly the winner tonight. Unbelievable knock! 🙏🙏🙏#CSKvsKXIP

Last over.
Real cricket starts now.

Magical from @msdhoni but just one hit less. Brilliant 19th over set it up and he did it yet again.. almost. This win will mean a lot to @ashwinravi99 but why only leg spin from him is a mystery!! Even to the left handed! Why? #KXIPvsCSK
