IPL 2018: Twitterati can't believe Mumbai Indians won
What's the story
Defending champions Mumbai Indians have finally ended their winless streak as they beat table-toppers Chennai Super Kings by 8 wickets in Pune.
This was their second win of the IPL 11 campaign and it takes them off the bottom of the table and also keeps their hopes of qualifying for the playoffs alive.
Here is how Twitter reacted to Mumbai Indians' victory.
Turning point
Shardul Thakur's penultimate over
Shardul Thakur's penultimate over was the turning point in this fixture.
Before Shardul's over, Mumbai needed 22 runs off 12 balls.
However, Shardul Thakur conceded 17 runs off 6 deliveries with Rohit Sharma smacking him for 4 boundaries.
Twitter wasn't very kind to Shardul after his disappointing performance, needless to say he was the target of all CSK fans.

Rohit Sharma shrugs off his poor from
Rohit Sharma's batting is the ideal example of an average human's life, when it's going good it's going great, when it's going bad you are absolutely screwed.
