Party spoilers is an apt term which comes to mind while describing the performance of the Gujarat Lions in their game against the Kings XI Punjab.

After having been knocked out of the competition with several losses, the Suresh Raina-led side was expected to put up a fight in Mohali. Well, they did a little more than that, as the Lions didn’t just seal off a big chase, but ensured that they made things quite tricky for the Punjabis.

The result means that the Kings XI now need to win their remaining games in order to secure their playoffs berth. That has made the competition far spicier and the upcoming games will have a far greater context.

Throughout the game, fans reacted on Twitter and below are some of the tweets.

Struggling to fathom the rationale of picking Chirag Suri if he wasn't good enough to get a game…#GL playing with only 3 overseas players!

#GujaratLions need to be careful in this seemingly calm chase. Always better to be ahead of what is needed. Reqd rate can creep up.
