What is the meaning of 'Kepke'? Herschelle Gibbs commented on Rohit Sharma's instagram post

Former South International Herschelle Gibbs made a tricky comment on an Instagram post of Rohit Sharma. Cricket fans are struggling to decode the comment of Gibbs and are curious to know about the meaning of the word he used. 

'Kepke'—that's the word, or someone can say a collaboration of alphabets, because there is no such word in the dictionary that depicts the meaning of 'Kepke.' Seems like it's an innovation of Gibbs himself. But there is a meaning behind this new-look word. So, people tagged Herschelle and asked him directly in search of the meaning. The former cricketer might have enjoyed a few moments to see the public reaction. Gibbs did not try anything to clear the air. In spite, he replied, "You'll have to ask Rohit Sharma." 

Rohit Sharma, now spending his free time with his family, away from cricket, shared a video on his official Instagram account depicting different shades of his moods and lifestyle. Within 20 hours after sharing the video on Instagram, nearly 16 thousand comments had been made, and 1,353,733 likes proved the popularity of Rohit Sharma among the netizens.

Some of the possible meaning of the word

When Sharma's followers were praising the captain of Team India's ODI setup, Gibbs came and typed "Kepke" in the comment box. Now, there are two theories in the net universe. Some believe that 'Kepke' came from the word 'captain.' On the other hand, few people think it is actually a short form from the initials of "Keep Elegance Pouring, Keep Entertaining." But what is actually the right version, and which one is wrong? Probably Gibbs and Sharma are the only two persons who know the answer.
