India, 24th April, 2019: 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 match saw a Kohli hundred and a Dhoni masterclass. 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.
