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.

11 v SL, TODAY
16 v NZ, Christchurch, 2003
17 v Ban, Dhaka, 2014#IndvSL
So true!
We should have gone to South Africa to prepare for Dharamshala ODI

Should've done this! :(
Should have had a test match in Dharamshala instead of Nagpur or Delhi...Would have been ideal test for the batting line up for SA tour #INDvSL

If ever there was a case to drop Dhoni from the ODI team to let in young blood, the case just got demolished today at Dharamshala

And then this happened!

Dhoni Review System. Didn't even wait for Bumrah, asked for the review himself and was right.

We have missed this man so much today! :(
Indian batting line-up without Virat Kohli is like a bank account without a linked Aadhar Card. #IndvSL

Indian team is having an ideal preparation for the South African series. Getting used to low totals & defeats is necessary #INDvSL
