What's the story

Chennai Super Kings suffered their first loss of the season despite a heroic effort by MS Dhoni. Batting first, Kings XI Punjab had set a target of 198. Dhoni's unbeaten 79-run innings meant that the game went till the last ball as CSK fell short of 4 runs. Twitterati went into a frenzy, here are some of the best reactions.

Chennai hit by the Gayle storm

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

Difference between a good investment and a bad one

Gayle went unsold in the 1st round of auctions. And people paid 11.5 cr for Unadkat. Just saying. #KXIPvCSK
