Kieron Pollard and Ranveer Singh
Stand-in captain Kieron Pollard's sensational 83-run knock put KL Rahul's maiden IPL hundred in the shade as Mumbai Indians pulled off a thrilling last-ball three-wicket win over Kings XI Punjab.
The victory was the third in a row for MI and took their tally to eight from six games while Kings XI suffered their third defeat in seven games.

From regular cricket fans to Sachin Tendulkar and Ranveer Singh, everyone was in awe of Kieron Pollard's single-handed effort to take Mumbai Indians to victory. Here are some tweets:
