Twitter comes up with hilarious tweets as Virat Kohli fumes at umpires following Hardik Pandya's lifeline

Mumbai Indians registered their first victory of the season against Royal Challengers Bangalore at the Wankhede when they defeated the visitors by 46 runs, thanks to explosive knocks by Rohit Sharma, Evin Lewis and disciplined bowling by Mitchell McClenaghan, Jasprit Bumrah and Mayank Markande.

However, the game will be remembered for an infamous reason and that was the third umpire’s decision of Hardik Pandya in the first innings when Mumbai Indians were batting. The incident took place in the 19th over when Chris Woakes was bowling to the Mumbai Indians all-rounder.

The on-field umpire gave it out, but the batsman took the help of DRS. The Snickometer clearly displayed a spike when the ball crossed the blade of the bat. But, the third umpire gave it not-out to everyone’s surprise. What followed was severe disappointment from the opposition skipper Virat Kohli.

Kohli lost his cool

The RCB leader Virat Kohli was quick to rush to the situation. He fumed at the umpires for not giving it out even though there was a clear spike on the Snicko. The decision helped Mumbai Indians to add more runs on the board as Hardik went on to score 17 runs in five balls.

Mumbai set a target of 214 for RCB and the visitors were never set in the game as they lost wickets in quick intervals, which helped Mumbai Indians to register their first win of the season by 46 runs. The one man army for RCB was Virat Kohli who scored an unbeaten 92.

Twitter loved the entire scene of Virat Kohli lashing out at umpires and came up with funny tweets describing the incident in various hilarious ways. Here we present you a few which will surely make you laugh

Kohli was visibly disappointed.
He said he didn't even feel like wearing the orange cap. You wouldn't want to be in the RCB dressing room tonight. Was furious with the umpire on that controversial decision. Now won't be too happy with the team's performance. #MIvRCB #VIVOIPL

Kohli should just pick Rod Tucker's walkie talkie while giving him the handshake and say "you're an absolute ch*tiya, over over.." to the 3rd umpire.

But on a further side note, Virat Kohli should be given Man of the Match today for not murdering the Third Empire on that blundered Hardik Pandya decision calling a CLEAR spike on ultra-edge "Not Out" . #MIvRCB
