Chennai Super Kings, after a two-year gap, were welcomed wholeheartedly by the fans of Kolkata, and the crowd at the iconic Eden Gardens. The stands for the first time were yellowed to a great extent, and showed support to the visiting team, and no doubt to ‘thala’ MS Dhoni.
But that warmth feeling soon turned hostile. Not from the stands, but right between that 22-yards strip. 18-year-old Shubman Gill along with his skipper, Dinesh Karthik, took Kolkata Knight Riders home with a convincing win over the visitors. Here’s how Twitterati reacted to our mighty win over Chennai Super Kings:

First and foremost, we have King Khan. While congratulating KKR, SRK called DK a calm character and young Mavi and Gill his babies and didn’t miss to mention the MoM Narine.

Former Indian cricketer, Mohammad Kaif also acknowledge the clever captaincy of DK and just like most of cricket fraternity considers him one for the future.

There was one who wasn’t too happy last night. Yes, it was Sanjay Manjrekar himself. Not for any cricketing reasons, but he just couldn’t get to watch Shubman’s innings.

Harsha saw it! He enjoyed it! And can’t wait to see more of it!

Cricket expert, Ayaz Memon in his detailed tweet called Shubman Gill strokes something for T20 and the move of promoting him at the top order, the turning point of the match.

The following tweet adds up to everything from the last night.

Co-owner, Juhi Chawla who was present at the very venue, too wished the entire team for a great win against Chennai Super Kings.

The turbanator, Harbhajan Singh congratulated our team and credited young Shubman Gill for the win.

On the similar lines as Harbhajan, IPL Chairman, Rajeev Shukla too congratulated Kolkata Knight Riders, Dinesh Karthik and Shubman GIll for taking us home with a great win over CSK.
