IPL 2018: 5 Best memes from the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab

Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab faced each other at the Eden Gardens, knowing that a win would help them leapfrog Chennai Super Kings as table toppers of IPL 2018.

In the end, it was Kings XI Punjab who became the table toppers, by defeating Kolkata Knight Riders in a rain-affected game by nine wickets on the back of superb fifties by their openers.

KL Rahul who scored 60 runs of just 27 balls by hitting seven fours and two sixes and Chris Gayle who scored an equally attractive unbeaten 62 runs of just 28 balls by hitting five fours and six huge sixes.

The match also saw, Australian big-hitting batsman Chris Lynn return to form with a superb knock of 74 runs of just 41 balls which included six fours and four huge sixes.

But, a poor batting performance by Knight Riders in the last 5 overs of their innings in which they scored just 45 runs, cost Kolkata Knight Riders the match, as Kings XI Punjab openers led Punjab to an easy nine wickets victory.

The match also provided enough content towards the funny memes to be made on the social media sites, and here in this article we look at the five of the best memes from the match between Kolkata Knight Riders and Kings XI Punjab:
