'Anddddd the king is back ♥ the greatest finisher ever in the game. Made me jump Outta my seat once again tonight,' Kohli tweeted.
Kohli-led Royal Challengers Bangalore will take on Kolkata Knight Riders in the Eliminator match on Monday, with the winners taking on Delhi Capitals in Wednesday's Qualifier 2 match.
