When Virat Kohli and AB De Villiers failed to get the runs on the board for RCB, Parthiv Patel stepped up and got the scoreboard ticking under the pump. Faf Du Plessis was a livewire on the field, taking two brilliant catches and an amazing relay catch. This is how the Twitterati reacted.

Directly proportional to the height! :P

Gayle hits sixes: 90 mtr, 95 mtr, 101 mtr.

Parthiv hits sixes: 67 mtr, 66 mtr, 65 mtr#RCBvCSK

The sad truth!

Parthiv Patel's white beard is a grim reminder of how old we all have grown. 😓

Advantage Parthiv!

Parthiv Patel is too short for the short pitch deliveries... #IPL2019 #CSKvRCB

Brilliant piece of fielding from Faf Du Plessis!

Incredible ‘relay’ catch to dismiss Stoinis. What an effort by Faf du Plessis! Could be game-changer.

Faf Du Plessis : How may I assist you?

Another amazing catch this season. Faf Du Plessis surely is one of the best fielder active in world cricket. I feel that it is time to introduce assist in cricket. It should have been C. Shorey A. Du Plessis B. Jadeja#IPL2019 #RCBvCSK

Who comes to your mind?

#FafduPlessis is setting some serious fielding goals in #IPL2019 Is there any catch he can't take? Reminds me of @Bazmccullum #RCBvCSK
