Asked to bat first, Royals could only muster 139\/3 in 20 overs. KKR cantered to victory, losing just two wickets.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>But things could have been different had the ball dislodged the bails when Chris Lynn was batting in the fourth over off Dhawal Kulkarni.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>Lynn, who went on to make a 32-ball 50, was batting on 13 when a length ball came into the Australian who was cramped for room.&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>It got an inside edge that hit the leg stump, the stump lights turned on but the bails were not dislodged as the ball raced towards the fine leg boundary.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>This got Twitter into a frenzy as many posted jokes and memes in a light hearted manner.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>The Royals were about to celebrate but their joy was cut short, with social media enthusiasts having a good time out of it.<\/p>\r\n\r\n<p>KKR raced to 140\/2 in 13.5 overs and are now top of the table with eight points from five matches. The Royals, meanwhile, are languishing in seventh place with just two points from five games.<br \/>\r\n&nbsp;<\/p>\r\n",
