Twitter reacts to AB de Villiers's Superman show with the bat and in the field
Royal Challengers Bangalore stayed in the hunt for the playoffs as they beat Sunrisers Hyderabad in a high octane match in the Chinnaswamy stadium. AB de Villiers was the star of the show as he made sure that RCB got to a respectable total and then took a briiliant catch to help them win.
Brief scores: Royal Challengers Bangalore 218/6 ( AB de Villers 69, Moeen Ali 65; Rashid Khan 3/27, Siddharth Kaul 2/44) beat Sunrisers Hyderabad 204/3 (Kane Williamson 81, Manish Pandey 62*; Moeen Ali 1/21, Yuzvendra Chahal 1/28) by 14 runs
It has become a ritual now

Interesting observation
Shikhar dhawan knows that third umpire will take 5 minutes to decide if it's a four or six so he recalled the last ball of lagaan movie and jumped outside the boundaries #IPL2018 #RCBvSRH #RCB #SRh

Where was he all this while!
Moeen Ali is showing what #RCB has missed throughout this season. #IPL2018 #RCBvSRH

That’s another way of looking at it
I'd give Alex Hales out for that catch by Tim Southee because:

1) Effort
2) It's of RCB's bowling#RCBvSRH
He needs to come good for SRH
Manish Pandey's Instagram skills are better than his batting skills. #RCBvSRH

This is taking it too far
Don't say AB De Villiers can do anything in this world. If this is true, he should bowl 2-3 overs and win this game for RCB. #RCBvSRH

They have become used to it
Relieved that Royal Challengers Bangalore is not in charge of our border security — they will let all infiltrators slip through! #RCBvSRH #IPL2018
