IPL 2018, RR vs KKR: Twitter reacts to KKR's victory

KKR won their second game on the trot to move to the top of the table. After winning the toss and bowling first, KKR's spinners controlled the game and restricted Rajasthan Royals to 160 even after the wonderful start provided by Rahane. While Narine had a bad day and conceded 48 runs in four overs, the other three spinners, Piyush Chawla, Kuldeep Yadav, and Nitish Rana, conceded just 52 runs off 10 overs and claimed four wickets.

After a good performance with the ball, KKR needed their batsmen to finish the job and that is what they did. Except for Chris Lynn, all the other batsmen did their job, building important partnerships along the way. Uthappa and Narine added 49 runs for the second wicket. After Narine's wicket, Rana scored 35 useful runs. It was the captain of KKR, Dinesh Karthik, who finished the match for them, scoring 42 off just 23 balls.

Here is how Twitter reacted to KKR's win:

Not Sure What Is More Shocking, Ajinkya Rahane Smoking A Bowler For 4 Straight Fours Or The Fact That Bowler Was Sunil Narine. #RRvKKR #RRvsKKR #KKRvRR

Bowling slow bowlers in tandem to Darcy short is a good strategy, but they also should have known the fact that Rahanae is a wonderful player against spin!!#RRvKKR

I don't even remember how many people have had debates with me over here about Karthik's keeping skills, calling him an average keeper. Look at that. #RRvKKR

Sanju Samson just did an AB de Villiers. Straight to the fielder. Catch practice.#RRvKKR

#RRvKKR Darcy Short pushing for test selection here. He’s teaching those incompetent Aussies how to survive on slow, turning tracks! Should’ve been picked for the Indian test tour last year. He’s shown more “intent” against the spinners than Warner ever did. 👏🏻👏🏻

Unlike in the #BBL, D'arcy Short has not been able to provide powerful starts in #IPL2018 https://t.co/DmECfQwVml #RRvKKR #IPL2018 pic.twitter.com/NZESGf1Vag

Very comfortable win again for the @KKRiders . DK's composure was vital in the end but what amazing consistency and responsibility young Nitish Rana has taken #RRvKKR

DK is making a habit of these finishes with a six #RRvKKR

Nitish Rana has delivered another Man-Of-The-Match performance. Has been the top performer in all the games KKR has won thus far. Well done. #RRvKKR #IPL
