Twitter reactions: Chahal, Buttler stun Kolkata

In a rare occurrence, a hat-trick, a five-wicket haul, and a century came in the same match in the Indian T20 League. Rajasthan leg-spinner Yuzvendra Chahal bagged four wickets in an over, which included the dismissals of Shreyas Iyer, Shivam Mavi, and Pat Cummins in consecutive balls to register his first hat-trick. Earlier in the match, Jos Buttler smacked his second hundred in the tournament. The wicket-keeper batter, who hit nine fours and five sixes, struck 103 from 61 balls.

We look at how the Twitter world reacted to the Rajasthan duo's incredible performance in the thrilling match at Brabourne Stadium in Mumbai.

Don't think Buttler, the T20 batter, gets discussed and celebrated as often as he should. What a striker of the ball. Modern great. Makes power-hitting look so aesthetically destructive. #Indian T202022

I’ve had the pleasure of watching some pretty special players up close during my career. The absolute highest tier: Williamson, McCullum, Pollard.

I’m adding Buttler tonight.@rajasthanroyals

Can't get this game out of my head. Buttler 103(61), Samson+Hetmyer 64(32), Narine, an insane 2-21(4), the Cummins boundary catch, Finch 58(28), Shreyas 85(51), Umesh 21(9), that Ashwin ball to Russell, the Chahal 4-in-an-over, McCoy on debut....
