The match between RCB and RR was reduced to 5-overs after a heavy downpour at Chinnaswamy. Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers gave a perfect start to RCB before Gopal's hattrick turned things around. It was an absolute humdinger and fans on Twitter went berserk after witnessing this thrilling encounter.

LoL!

RIP ball. #RCBvRR

A match to remember for Shreyas Gopal!

Usually Kohli and ABD gives tough times to bowlers.

But Shreyas Ghopal has given tough times to both Kohli and ABD in this IPL format.

Kudos @rajasthanroyals team coaching staff & management for shaping another player. 👏👏#RR #RRvRCB #RCBvRR #IPL2019 #IPLT20

When you don't trust your bowlers!

Kohli is so happy he didn’t have to ask his bowlers the last over #RCBvRR
