The fixture between RCB and SRH was a match between the best and worst bowling line ups. While SRH were comfortably seated at the top of the charts, RCB had all depended on this match.

SRH did not have a great start as Alex Hales departed early. It was skipper Kane Williamson who took responsibility again with a breezy fifty.
Courtesy Shakib al Hasan’s late contribution, SRH got close to 150.
Manan Vohra departed early but RCB got off to a good start overall with Parthiv Patel and Virat Kohli scoring 20 and 39 respectively.
Following a string of quick wickets, it was left to Mandeep Singh and CDG to take their team over the line. As the duo fell short by 5 runs, twitter reacted to the spectacle.

If You Can Deceive And Dismiss A Batsman Like AB de Villiers Like That, You Deserve To Be The World No. 1 Bowler. What A Beauty By Rashid Khan. #OrangeArmy #SRHvRCB #SRHvsRCB pic.twitter.com/0WE27Jy6lh

First of all, Rajasthan Royals and Royal Challengers Bangalore should remove ” Royal ” from their names.#SRHvRCB

India should give citizenship to Rashid Khan. Serious. Best case scenario for 2019 World Cup. #SRHvRCB

Worst part is that Kaul doesn’t even know if he dropped Kohli or Vohra#SRHvRCB

Dear Virat,
Don’t try to win on planning.
Don’t try to win on thinking.
Don’t try to win carefully and cautiously.
Don’t try to win safely and surely.
Your best chance of winning is in your motto – Play Bold.
Wishing you a crushing victory.
C’MON RCB.— Ramesh Srivats (@rameshsrivats) May 7, 2018
