Fifth IPL ton for King Kohli!

Virat Kohli you Lion!🔥 What an innings! This is pure class! I wonder how many runs would have piled up if ABD was there tonight! #KKRvRCB

Time to see if Russell got his same fireworks tonight!

Extraordinary batting effort by RCB!

Sensational 100. The acceleration from Kohli has been awesome. Moeen set up the carnage and Kohli sealed it dramatically

Too much of work for Russell!

Kuldeep just upped Russell's workload.#KKRvRCB

Kuldeep Yadav this year had been the most stand out flop performer for @KKRiders and should be dropped. Has failed miserably to take wickets, leaked runs, almost in every match.#KKRvRCB #KKRHaiTaiyaar #VIVOIPL

Bad day for Kuldeep Yadav!

Most expensive figures for a spinner in IPL:

59 - Tahir, DD v MI, 2016

59 - KULDEEP, KKR v RCB, 2019

57 - Karn Sharma, SRH v RCB, 2016

57 - Jadeja v RCB, 2017#KKRvRCB

Lord Dinda must be very happy today!

Just in: Kuldeep Yadav is now officially the member of Ashok Dinda Academy.❤️#KKRvRCB #KKR

Can't underestimate Moeen Ali!

When @RCBTweets bought Woakes I was happy, when they bought Moeen I scratched my head. Time has proven me pretty darn wrong. #IPL2019 #KKRvRCB

Moeen Ali was just brilliant today!

Was good the other day as well. Appears Mo isn’t happy with “big dependence on Virat and AB” statement everyone bandies #IPL2019 #RCBvKKR #KKRvRCB

When Kuldeep conceded 59!

What a fifty Kuldeep Yadav .. @imkuldeep18 #KKRvRCB
— Gopi Kisn Taparia 🇮🇳 (@Its_Gops) April 19, 2019

Kuldeep looked in bad touch!

I've never seen @imkuldeep18 so mediocre. This IPL hasn't been his and #KKR need to drop him. He's coming off a long season and looks toothless. This whole love affair shouldn't be the reason behind the downfall of a team.

Give him some time off and get him back maybe. #KKRvRCB

That's IPL for you!

Kohli cheering Ali while he smashes Kuldeep all over the park. Gotta love the IPL. #KKRvRCB

Kuldeep must be missing Dhoni!

KulCha without #Dhoni is not worth trying!!! #KKRvRCB
— Niken Shah (@niken_shah) April 19, 2019

Kuldeep has always underperformed in @IPL compared to his international stature. This season has been horrible to say the least. Not many would say but Piyush Chawla is @KKRiders' better spinner no doubt. Kuldeep has to be dropped for one match atleast.#KKRvRCB #IPL2019

When you have Siraj on your side!

This is how you bat when you have Moh Siraj in your bowling line up#KKRvRCB
