IPL 2019: Dhoni, Kohli take Twitter by storm in Week 4

#RCBvsCSK becomes most tweeted about match in Week 4 of #IPL2019.

When RCB took on CSK in week 4 of the IPL 2019, it saw two of Indian cricket’s biggest faces go head to head: MS Dhoni (@msdhoni) and Virat Kohli (@imVkohli). The result was an incredible game of cricket, and fans going crazy on Twitter.

Most Tweeted about moments

It was no surprise that King Kohli’s ton made it to the top three most tweeted about moments from Week 4 of the IPL. However, it was bettered by an almost perfect knock by MS Dhoni. With Chennai needing 26 runs off the last over, Dhoni managed to smash Umesh Yadav all around the part. With 2 needed off the final delivery, Dhoni failed to get bat on ball and Parthiv was able to complete a stunning run-out. Regardless, this enthralling final over became the most tweeted about moment from Week 4.

Most Tweeted about matches
A match that has a 100, a last ball finish, and two greats of Indian cricket. It’s not hard to imagine why #RCBvsCSK became the most tweeted about match in the week. The 2nd most was also a game featuring RCB, one that Andre Russell almost won for KKR from a losing position.
