Not surprisingly, the pure ‘bromance’ moment resulted in a flurry on social media, especially Twitter, wherein many rose up to the occasion and went to town turning the picture into hilarious memes right away! From taking digs like: ‘Chennai and Karnataka are now friends and the Cauvery-water dispute has been finally solved’, to comparing their hug to ‘Game of Thrones’ A Song of Ice and Fire’, people put their best foot forward with the meme-game this time.

Meanwhile, there was no dearth of sarcastic jibes that made the rounds after RCB lost the match. To wondering why aren’t bowlers doing their job to CSK supporters thanking AB Devilliers, many were as ruthless as they were funny.
There’s a similarity between me and RCB – We both cannot save.

AB Devilliers is such a player that even when he is scoring against your team, you can’t hate him and will end up cheering for him.
