The second game of the Indian Premier League (IPL) season 10 could be termed as one of the best and entertaining games of all the IPL seasons. It was a complete package which displayed some blockbuster performances from the batsmen of both the teams. The climax of this show was a massive thriller and ended with a loud roar coming from the Rising Pune Supergiants (RPS) dug-out who defeated the Mumbai Indians (MI) by 7 wickets.

The game took place in the Maharashtra Cricket Association in Pune where the RPS skipper Steven Smith decided to bowl first after winning the toss. Imran Tahir turned out to be the ace of the deck and crushed the Mumbai top-order. The man who was ignored by all the franchise in the auctions performed phenomenally by the ball. However, the 20th over proved to be the game turner for Mumbai after Hardik Pandya Hit 4 sixes and a boundary to Ashoke Dinda and left him helpless.

The Pune top order did the entire work to achieve victory and especially the skipper who proved that why MS Dhoni was dropped as a captain and he was given the opportunity to lead.

Meanwhile, the Twitteratis poured their thoughts and emotions on the micro-blogging site and described this mega-show in the wittiest way within the 140-character limit.
