Very rarely do you see Virat Kohli being unable yo breach the score during a chase. But it happened today in a must-win match for Royal Challenger Bangalore when they locked horns with Rising Pune Supergiant. Even at the toss, Virat Kohli said the equation is simple all they need to do is win 5 out of five to make it to the playoffs. They won the toss and opted to field. RPS scored 157 and while the score looked very getable, RCB collapse started none of them stuck around. It was like an action replay of the match they played against KKR, where they folded for 49. The scores of RCB was like a phone number apart from Virat Kohli’s 55, no one breached double figures, that is the sad state RCB were in.

It was like bicycles falling in a row or like nine pins falling. Virat Kohli kept on batting without gifting his wicket like his colleagues. But that was not good enough and very early you could sense Virat is playing for a losing cause. To his innings Twitter had a lot to say, some spoke good, some bad and some were funny and sarcastic.

Here are the pick of the tweets:

#ViratKohli is the only captain to score a half-century in a match where team total is below 100 in #IPL. #RPSvRCB
