Kolkata: Royal Challengers Bangalore(RCB) thrashed Kolkata Knight Riders by 10 runs and registered their second success of the season after Andre Russell and Nitish Rana nearly pulled off the impossible in the Indian Premier League(IPL) match on Friday.

Needing 113 runs off the last six 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 five overs to reach 213 for four, their highest total this year.

In no time, Twitter was bombarded with hilarious memes. Here's a look at some of them:
