'He was playing a different match': Twitterati react to Kyle Jamieson's viral dugout pic

Royal Challengers Bangalore (RCB) lost the game against Kolkata Knight Riders (KKR) pretty comfortably but one of their players may have stolen the limelight with one of the best moments of the game. RCB were in a spot of bother having lost four wickets before the halfway mark with both Virat Kohli and AB de Villiers back in the hut.

When the score read 53/4, the cameraman panned onto RCB dugout during the 10th over of the innings, RCB pacer Kyle Jamieson was padded up as he was slated to come in at No 8 but when the camera was on him, Jamieson was seen smiling looking at the team's massage therapist Navnita Gautam.

As soon as it appeared on the TV, it became viral. The picture inspired hilarious reactions varying from 'men will be men' to Jamieson 'playing his own match' to 'team at 53/4, but Jamieson kept himself busy'.

Here are some of the reactions:

As far as the match was concerned, it was a poor outing for Virat Kohli and co as apart from winning the toss, it was a forgettable game for the RCB skipper, who was playing his 200th match in the IPL. RCB lost wickets at regular intervals as none of the batsmen could offer much resistance and they eventually bundled out for 92 runs.

KKR openers came out all guns blazing as they shot out the target in just 10 overs owing to Shubman Gill's 48-run knock and debutant Venkatesh Iyer's unbeaten innings of 41 runs off just 27 balls and help their team leapfrog to fifth position in the points table, with three wins in eight games.
