Kolkata: Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) thrashed Kolkata Knight Riders by 10 runs and registered their second success of the season in the Indian Premier League(IPL) match Friday.
Needing 113 runs off the last 6 overs, Russell (65 off 25) and Rana (85 not out off 46) almost got their team over the line but Moeen Ali managed to defend 24 in the final over.
The tense climax came after Virat Kohli smashed 100 off 58 balls for his fifth century in the IPL and first this season. RCB hammered 91 runs off the last 5 overs to reach 213 for four, their highest total this year.
In no time, social media sites were bombarded with hilarious memes. Here’s a look at some of them:

A scene from yesterday's interview with Legend Robin Uthappa.
Our Thala was highly impressed by Robbie and offered him the post of Vice President Rahane but he refused after seeing his Tatti face.
Thala also offered him the lifetime premium membership in Thala Academy.#KKRvRCB pic.twitter.com/O8Ixa9b4Zx
