Virat Kohli's pic wasn't the only meme from RCB vs KKR that had IPL fans amused. Here is a look at some others:
Virat Kohli lavished praise on Glenn Maxwell after the batsman's knock played an important role in the team's win.
"Well, I said at the halfway mark we have 200 because of two genius innings back-to-back. Maxwell was outstanding and AB to follow. When he gets in with that kind of form and flow, it's impossible to stop him," Kohli told host broadcaster Star Sports at the post-match presentation.
"We got 40 extra runs on that pitch which slowed down. Maxi has taken to this team like duck to water. AB loves the team and they were the difference today. There are areas we can work on. We're not getting ahead of ourselves and not getting over-excited," he added.
