A very bizarre incident took place during the match between RCB and KXIP. After the strategic timeout, Ankit Rajpoot asked the umpires for the ball and the umpires had no clue where the ball was. AB de Villiers couldn't stop himself from laughing as everyone was searching for the ball.

Parthiv Patel at his best!

Parthiv Patel has scored 18 runs in an over twice this season.

None of AB or Kohli has scored that many in any over yet.#RCBvKXIP

LoL!

With Gayle, Rahul, Mayank, Mandeep & Sarfaraz playing for Punjab, #RCBvKXIP is basically an alumni reunion.

Parthiv has been consistent this season!

Even Kohli and ABD have blown hot and cold this season,but only Parthiv has been one consistent performer for RCB this season. #RCBvKXIP

Rare sight!

#RCBvKXIP it's hilarious to watch Ashwin do athlete things, like running/fielding and attempting a celebration.

Nehra Ji must be very happy!

Nehra might b feeling happy coz he doesnt need to stand at d boundary line nd perform all sorts of hand,facial movements to defend a huge total coz d total isn't going to b huge🤣🤣 #rcbvkxip pic.twitter.com/hFLFubjXZD

When ABD is on crease!

Ball is afraid of getting smacked by AB. Hence, hiding. #RCBvKXIP
