KKR's win has left Twitter buzzing.
KKR defeats Punjab Kings comfortably. A good run chase by KKR, after an early collapse, Morgan and Rahul Tripathi built a great partnership which sealed the game for them. Tripathi was brilliant for his 41, Morgan remained unbeaten on 47. Bishnoi and Shami were great for Punjab.
