Twitter reacts as Sri Lanka humble India in the 1st ODI in Dharamsala

Though MS Dhoni's 61-run knock helped India reach a respectable target that Sri Lanka reached comfortably, Rohit Sharma's debut game as captain will be remembered for its epic failure. However, from Bumrah's no-ball to Dhoni's hawkeye view, the quick ODI had everything to keep the Twitterati busy.

Brief Scores : India 112 ( MS Dhoni 65, Kuldeep Yadav 19; Suranga Lakmal 4/13, Nuwan Pradeep 2/37) lost to Sri Lanka (Upul Tharanga 49, N Dickwella 26; J Bumrah 1/32, B Kumar 1/38) by 7 wickets.  

Here are the best tweets from the match.

Indian batting today...

Rohit Sharma, your wish came true!

So true!

Should've done this! :(

There was one warrior who stood tall when others failed against the SL bowling attack today!

And then this happened!

Dhoni>Umpire!

We have missed this man so much today! :(

Now we know why the batsmen struggled today!

Brace yourselves Indian fans!

And then Bumrah does this! AGAIN!

The secret to Success!

Name a better love triangle, I will wait!

Indian fans after watching Bumrah's bowling...

The South African camp right now!
