IPL 2018: Twitter Reacts As Royal Challengers Bangalore Post Competitive Total

Riding on Mandeep Singh’s quickfire knock, Royal Challengers Bangalore posted a formidable total of 176 for 7 against Kolkata Knight Riders.

Sent in to bat first, the Royal Challengers were off to a great start with Brendon McCullum collecting 14 runs off the very first over. However, the Knight Riders were quick to respond with Piyush Chawla accounting for Quinton de Kock in the second over.

The dismissal helped the hosts slow down things a bit. Both McCullum and Virat Kohli struggled to find their groove early on. But McCullum was managing to hit the occasional boundaries and as a result the score was 52 at the end of the powerplay. The former Kiwi international soon found his groove and raced away to 43 off just 26. But before he could inflict more damage, Sunil Narine castled him.

McCullum’s dismissal brought AB de Villiers on the crease. And as expected, fireworks followed. Within no time, the Proteas star hit four sixes to give his side the much-needed impetus. As a result, the visitors reached the 100-run mark in the 12th over. On the other hand, Kohli was finding it tough to find his timing and looked content to play the role of second fiddle.

With de Villiers looking in murderous mood, Dinesh Karthik brought in Nitish Rana. And the move immediately paid off as he dismissed both de Villiers and Kohli on consecutive deliveries. Not surprisingly, the visitors struggled to recover from those setbacks. But cameo from Mandeep Singh (37 off 17) helped them post a competitive total.

Here is how Twitter reacted to the innings:
