The IPL this year was going to be special, given the pandemic and the long absence of cricket. However, no one had thought that it would turn out to be THIS exciting.
I’d get into the details of it, but right now it feels odd to talk about anything except the 3 super overs from last night.
We usually don’t want our weekends to end, but this one even more so 👏#IPL2020 pic.twitter.com/kt5w5ypuhO

For those who slept too early, well, guess what, the match between Mumbai Indians and Kings XI Punjab ended in a draw and so did the super over. So another super-over had to be played and ultimately Punjab won.
This, of course, was after the Kolkata Knight Riders and Sunrisers Hyderabad match; which again saw the two teams fighting it out in the super over, which KKR won (hang in there Kane).
I have already written ‘super-over’ like 50 times but it was that kind of night. I hope you trust me, otherwise here are some Twitter reactions.

If I had to pick one moment, from all the manic moments in this game, it would be @mipaltan playing too safe in the 1st super over with only 6 to get. But there were so many. What a Sunday! In these times, what would we do without sport, without cricket!

Apparently if there is another super over Anil Kumble will have to Bowl to Mahela and Zaheer to Andy Flower. #IPL2020

In the history of Cricket, 3 super overs in a single day. I can understand it’s been that type of year !!

Such an incredible double delight in #IPL2020 this Sunday. Two matches tied & 3 super overs…good for @lionsdenkxip but my Man of the Match is still @Jaspritbumrah93

The quality of cricket and the nail biting finishes have been the hallmark of @IPL this season. 3 Super Overs on a Sunday is just unbelievable. Well done, @Jaspritbumrah93 @MdShami11 @klrahul11 @krunalpandya24 @DineshKarthik @SunRisers @KKRiders @mipaltan @lionsdenkxip #IPL2020
