Twitter reacts to South Africa taking a 1-0 lead against India

01/08/2018

After some great work from the bowlers, yet again, restricting SA to a sub-par score of 130 in the second innings, Indian batsman crumbled under pressure once again scoring just 5 more runs than their opponents. The Twitterati were in no mood to let the collapse slide and came out in numbers.

Brief scores : South Africa 286 (AB de Villiers 65, Faf du Plessis 62; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 4-87) & 130 (AB de Villiers 35, Aiden Markram 34; Mohammad Shami 3/28, Jasprit Bumrah 3/39) beat India 209 (Hardik Pandya 93; Kagiso Rabada 3-34, Vernon Philander 3-33) & 135 (R Ashwin 37, Virat Kohli 28; Vernon Philander 6/42, Morne Morkel 2/39) by 72 runs.

Here are the best tweets from the day's action :

Take a bow, South Africa

No Dale Steyn, rain affected play, a meagre lead of 200, and yet SA have managed to bring India to its knees. Now that’s a world class team!
— Harsh Raj (@hkb395)

And we thought Team India learned something

Rip those who thought India had a chance of beating SA even after watching dharamshala ODI
— Aditya Dangi (@Adi_dangi)

Sooo True..

If Dale Steyn had bowled perhaps the Indian team would've been in hotel by now.

Well, no comments on this

So what is our great coach Ravi Shastri thinking with his great assistants Bharat Arun and Sanjay Bangar?
— Chirag (@chirag_rachchh)

Different stories, same result

Bowlers gave us the game back , batsmen gave it back to SA on a silver plate . Pathetic is least to say
