Twitter left in awe of Kohli's Royal Challengers Bangalore

Royal Challengers Bangalore defeated Kings XI Punjab by 10 wickets. Kohli's bowlers brought their A game tonight to rattle Kings XI Punjab and bowl them out for just 88. Chasing down 89 was never a task for RCB's batsmen who took them home without losing a wicket. Here's how Twitter reacted to RCB's victory.

RCB fans cannot believe what just happened

Ashwin is the target tonight

When everyone expected Ashwin to get bowled or caught, he got run-out. Mr. Unpredictable 🙏 #IPL
