Twitter reacts to Sunil Narine's brilliant fifty and AB de Villiers' fragile genius
Although the game slowed down a bit towards the end, it would indeed go down as one of the most entertaining matches in the league so far as the fortunes fluctuated till the very end. And Twitterati had their share of fun and also reserved praise for the KKR part-timer turned hero, Nitish Rana.
Brief Scores: Royal Challengers Bangalore 176/7 ( AB de Villiers 44, Brendon McCullum 43; Nitish Rana 2/11, Vinay Kumar 2/30) lost to Kolkata Knight Riders 177/6 (Sunil Narine 50, Dinesh Karthik 35; Chris Woakes 3/36, Umesh Yadav 2/27) by four wickets
Nitish Rana, you beauty!!
Looked like a very risky move but it has paid off and like how. Nitish Rana has got AB De villiers and Kohli in successive balls. This is something worth telling his grandchildren #KKRvRCB

Sunil Narine has been called for an illegal bowling action 4 times.
He's figured out a way to extend his career in case it happens a 5th time.#KKRvRCB
Lol
Kohli is very good at running between the wickets. He has learnt running from his team owner. #KKRvRCB

A salute to Gambhir
Gambhir might have left KKR but his 'captainship legacy' continues with #Narine opening and continuing to smack some important runs. #KKRvRCB
— Harsh Shah (@MrMrHarsh) April 8, 2018
Please give it to him already
Gautam Gambhir should be given Nobel prize for discovering an opener in Sunil Narine.#RCBvKKR
