I sometimes wonder if we should test AB’s flesh to see if it’s actually human and not an advanced alien prototype that merely resembles human flesh. #RCBvKXIP

Good win for #RCB but we made that look harder than it should’ve been. Can someone also please explain to me why we didn’t retain Rahul and chose to hang on to Sarfaraz instead? #RCBvKXIP

good game – a 17 year old bowled the ball of the tournament and an 18 year old hit the winning runs #RCBvKXIP
