The Sunrisers Hyderabad took on the Kolkata Knight Riders in the eliminator at the Feroz Shah Kotla Stadium in New Delhi. Captain Gautam Gambhir won the toss as KKR elected to field first. While SRH brought in Ben Cutting and Bipul Sharma, KKR had Morne Morkel and R Sathish coming in for them.

Batting first, Sunrisers lost Shikhar Dhawan early. David Warner and Moises Henriques recovered them from the early slump before Kuldeep Yadav sent both of them back into the pavilion of successive balls. Yuvraj Singh then played a gem of a knock for his team scoring 44 from 30 balls while Bipul hit 2 sixes in the last over.

This propelled SRH’s total to a decent 162/8 in their quota of 20 overs. For KKR, Kuldeep was the pick of the bowlers as he struck thrice while Morkel and Jason Holder both got two wickets apiece. On the other hand, Sunil Narine went wicketless.

Kolkata lost Robin Uthappa early. At one stage, when Gautam Gambhir and Colin Munro seemed to have balanced things a confusion resulted in a run out. From there on Kolkata kept on losing wickets at regular intervals. Manish Pandey did well for his 36 (28) but ended up giving a catch to Deepak Hooda.

In the end, KKR fell short of the target, thanks to some extraordinary bowling by Mustafizur Rahman and Bhuvanesh Kumar at the death. Sunrisers Hyderabad proceeded to the qualifiers against the Gujarat Lions on Friday while KKR has been eliminated.

Twitter kept everyone entertained with some splendid tweets throughout the KKR-SRH game. Right from lauding Yuvraj to trolling the rest of the SRH batting, right from lauding Mustafizur and Bhuvanesh to trolling KKR. Here are some of the Twitter reactions that took place during the course of the game:
