IPL 2017: Twitterati Laud Dhoni & Sundar as RPS Make it to Final

Washington Sundar’s splendid spell won him the man of the match award in IPL 2017’s Qualifier 1 vs Mumbai Indians.

MS Dhoni and Washington Sundar shone as Rising Pune Supergiant thrashed Mumbai Indians by 20 runs to reach their first Indian Premier League final on 16 May.

Dhoni smacked 40 off 26 balls in the death overs to help Pune post a decent score of 162/4 before young off-spinner Sundar scalped three wickets that led to Mumbai scoring 142/9 in Qualifier 1.

It was Pune's third win over Mumbai in as many games this season. The team have a chance of winning the IPL in only their second season.

Twitterati couldn’t stop but praise MS Dhoni for his performance and becoming the first person to reach seven IPL finals.

M.S Dhoni and Finals, A never ending love story. 😅😊😊

He is not as consistently brilliant as he used to be but Dhoni keeps reminding us that the brilliance is still very much intact.👏👏👏

Washington Sundar is a top order batsman. Making the side for his off-spin. Lesson? Always good to know a second language!!
