After Gujrat failed to capitalize on a great start, RPS failed to induce any start at all but crossed the finish line thanks to an incredible innings by Ben Stokes. While he received big praise, the Twitterati saved some harsh words for Dhoni and a rare mention of the RPS legend, Ashok Dinda!

Brief Scores : Gujarat Lions 161/10 (Brendon McCullum 45, Ishan Kishan 31; Imran Tahir 3/27, Jaydev Unadkat 3/29) lost to Rising Pune Supergiant 167/5 (Ben Stokes 103*, MS Dhoni 26; Pradeep Sangwan 2/38, Basil Thampi 2/35) by 5 wickets.

Here are the best tweets from the match

The way Tahir is playing, he actually might

I guess they spent all the money on wicket-keeping backups 

The wicketkeeping maestro was at his best today

No argument on that one

Seems like he’s more famous for running than bowling 

Everyone know who the real captain is

No event can proceed without the remembrance of this god 

That is harsh on Sangwan

Luckily, RPS didn’t reveal their number

IPL fans this season be like 

Complacency or pressure?

Worth every penny!

Dhoni batting for RPS, ain’t so pretty
