It was the Afghan Rashid Khan who had a field day as he followed up his 34 off 10 balls with 3 wickets to guide SRH into the final of the 2018 IPL. SRH fans couldn't hold their emotions as they took on to Twitter to express their joy on the brilliant display by Rashid Khan in a must win game.
Brief Scores : Sunrisers Hyderabad 174/7 (Wriddhiman Saha 35, Rashid Khan 34*; Kuldeep Yadav 2/29, Piyush Chawla 1/22) lost to Kolkata Knight Riders 161/9 (Chris Lynn 48, Shubman Gill 30; Rashid Khan 3/19, Carlos Brathwaite 2/16) by 13 runs.
SRH fans won't be happy with these decisions!
Dropping Sandeep Sharma is just a pathetic decision by . Why would you drop someone who has been so consistently good? Shocking!

Manish Pandey dropped, I didn't see that coming. Huge blow
— Nikhil 🏏 (@CricCrazyNIKS)
so have dropped the player they spent most on for a knockout game
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75)
SRH weren't the only team to drop bombs today!
1⃣ change made by Skipper DK, as Shivam Mavi comes in for Javon Searles.
— KolkataKnightRiders (@KKRiders)
The will be playing with 3⃣ overseas players in tonight's encounter.
One team's gain is another team's loss! :P
Huge set back for KKR..... SRH dropped Manish Pandey.....

Saha in for Manish Pandey didn't make a huge difference anyway!

Expectation vs reality! :P
I was hoping for saha to get out, but Dhawan got out 🙈

DK masterclass!
Brilliant keeping by Karthik.. Dropping Saha and not allowing Williamson to come to bat.
— Piyush Sharma (@misterpiyush)
Then something unbelievable happened!
Piyush Chawla has taken an unbelievable catch. One brilliant Superman fielder retires, other brilliant fielder continues the legacy.
— BOBBEY (@iamsrktheking)
Breathtaking catch by Piyush Chawla. The dangerous Pathan is gone.
— Joshua D'souza (@TheJoshuaDsouza)
Oh well, it was good while it lasted!
After that last catch, Piyush Chawla felt he was 7 feet tall. And started fielding like he was 7 feet 2 inches.
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket)
And then this is what Rashid did after Piyush Chawla dropped his catch!

Surely the difference between two teams was Rashid Khan. What a player 🙌
He did his job with both bat & bowl. Even field too taking those 2 crucial catches at the end. Congratulations for 2nd final.
