The Sunrisers Hyderabad locked horns with the Royal Challengers Bangalore at Hyderabad. Both the teams were languishing in the bottom half of the table ahead of the game. While a win for the Sunrisers would have taken them to the top half, a win for RCB would have meant swapping places with Rising Pune Supergiants in the points table.

The match had a lot of excitement and surprises. The first one being Chris Gayle and Sarfaraz Khan missing out from the RCB playing eleven. Despite losing Shikhar Dhawan early, his opening partner David Warner absolutely butchered the RCB bowlers, taking a special liking for fellow Australian Kane Richardson. Kane Williamson played his first game of the tournament and scored a gritty fifty. Moises Henriques clobbered 3 maximums in his cameo of 14-ball 31. But the star of the show remained the skipper David Warner’s knock. Warner was unlucky to have missed out on the century and was dismissed on 92 off 50 balls with 9 fours and 5 sixes.

After a long time, the Orange Cap went away from Virat Kohli. Kohli needed to score 18 runs to take it back from David Warner but could manage just 14. For the first time this season, Kohli didn’t look comfortable at the crease and was dismissed by Mustafizur Rahman. Lokesh Rahul’s belligerent knock of 51 came in just 28 balls and many could not believe at the way the young man played. AB de Villiers and Sachin Baby kept the RCB fans interested for a brief while but eventually SRH won by 15 runs and RCB were handed their 4th defeat of the season.

With so much happening in just one single game, twitter went crazy about the game and came up flooding with tweets. Here are some of the best tweets from the game:
