AB de Villiers was the downright star during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore and Kolkata Knight Riders at the ongoing IPL 2020 edition in UAE. AB de Villiers led the team to a stunning victory courtesy his unbeaten 73 runs off just 33 deliveries. ABD helped RCB post a brilliant total of 194 runs on board - a total too big for KKR - which led them to an 82-run victory.

It was all about AB de Villiers in Sharjah on Monday during the match between Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) and the Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) in the IPL.

Here's a look at some of the funny tweets that followed on Twitter after Virat Kohli's celebration.
