Twitter reacts as RCB continues losing streak while KKR come back to winning ways

04/30/2018

Kolkata Knight Riders almost made a meal of an easy match against Royal Challengers Bangalore before Chris Lynn stood tall to ensure a six-wicket victory for the hosts. Twitterati was quick to pull out Virat Kohli's limited bowling options, Sunil Narine and Andre Russell's enthralling display.

Brief scores: Royal Challengers Bangalore 175/4 (Virat Kohli 68*, Brendon McCullum 38; Andre Russell 3/31, Kuldeep Yadav 1/20) lost to Kolkata Knight Riders 176-4 (Chris Lynn 62*, Robin Uthappa 36; Murugan Ashwin 2/36, Mohammed Siraj 2/40) by 6 wickets.

What acoincidence!

Bowlers taking 2 wickets in one over on birthday in :

James Faulkner (RR v KKR, 2014)

James Faulkner (GL v MI, 2017)

ANDRE RUSSELL (KKR v RCB, Today)

All 3 performances came on April 29.

First two matches went in to the Super Over, what will happen today?

RCB fans are genuinely concerned!

RCB by the way can play any batsman at any position, prefered or unprefered, and they will still mess it up in ABD's absence. It's about quality, they don't have a good enough squad, the errors have been made in the auction room.

What an analogy!

Oh that Kohli whip for a six.

Just one of those and an egg's beaten & ready to be made into an omelette.

One of the most entertaining cricketers around

I love 's batting!

Just swing and so fearless shots!!

Sometimes delivering more than core batsmen!

Nothing new here

Don't know what is happening with RCB fielding, so many lofty shots but none taken. Wonder whether fielding is set as per bowler's choice?

This guy doesn’t hold back

Life of RCB fans every IPL:

1) Start of every IPL : E sala cup namde

2) At the bottom of the table: Will never support this f*cking team again

3) RCB wins one match after becoming out of tournament : RCB won hearts, lungs, kidney, etc... 😂😂😂

Let’s see if the birthday boy can do it

Andre Russell can chase 175 by himself.

Another concerned Virat Kohli fan

Feel sorry for sometimes,

What an excellent player and what a complete trash team he has got

True that!

Narine and RCB relationship is funnier than any Indian Comedy Movies-Series!!!

Wonder what Virat Kohli fans have to say about this

Kohli should do an encore of Gambhir. Give up captaincy and play as a batsman. RCB needs an inspirational leader and some fresh fortune!!

They could have been in front!
