Magnificent innings from KL Rahul. He had been magnificent and feel for him but Kings 11 have simply not been good enough in the crucial phases. Mumbai owe this to Bumrah. Top spell #MIvKXIP

600+ runs in a season @ 160. Only the third player after Gayle and AB to do so. K L Rahul is undoubtedly the best batsman in this…batting like a dream. #IPL #MIvKXIP

— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) May 16, 2018

This season it has to be KLXI rather than @lionsdenkxip. He has carried them all season. #IPL2018 #MIvKXIP

Feeling Heartbroken for @klrahul11 ??? #IPL2018 #MIvKXIP

This man a million dollar cricketer of Indian cricket. @klrahul11 you become my favourite batsman. #MIvKXIP pic.twitter.com/b8KKkhgk5n

If there is a award for stupid captaincy in this tournament, you should give that to Ash for this match ????#MIvKXIP

— Blackpearl (@bharathtweets) May 16, 2018

Pandya and K L Rahul sharing jerseys is the best thing you’ll see today.

Dropping Yuvi from the team was not enough. Keeping Yuvi in the team, and dropping him down the batting order – what a beautiful move.

— Siddarth Srinivas (@sidhuwrites) May 16, 2018

Sun has yet not set for #MumbaiIndians . There’s still some light at the end of the tunnel. Massive win. Stealing one from jaws of defeat. #IPL2018 #MIvKXIP

This is really heartbreaking ? #MIvKXIP pic.twitter.com/haG25dIxVd

— Shavii Bajaj (@shavi_bajaj) May 16, 2018

Not sure whose decision it was to send Axar ahead of Yuvi. For that insult to Yuvi, dear Punjab, you deserved to lose. Thank you.

Someone wants Yuvi. Someone doesn’t. Between Zinta, Viru and Ash. Going by Ash’s attitude every time he has been asked about Yuvi, he surely doesn’t want Yuvi.

— Alagappan Vijayakumar (@IndianMourinho) May 16, 2018

Time to leave this planet, Axar had come ahead of Yuvi… Kidding me? seriously #MIvKXIP

— Rokibuz Zaman (@ROKIBUZZAMAN2) May 16, 2018

Yuvi in Wankhede ?️ reminds me of the glorious night of 2011.

Not trusting the yuvraj was a bad strategy. You can’t demoralize player like him at this stage of match.
YESS… well done MI.

— Sagar Gupta (@sagar_gg) May 16, 2018

I pray to God that @ashwinravi99 shud never make it to India team again n remains unsold nxt ipl for the way he treated Yuvi
