Twitter reacts to Rohit Sharma's hilarious dismissal against Sri Lanka
Even though India secured a comfortable 9-wicket win against Sri Lanka in the first ODI, Rohit Sharma's return to the ODI team was not a happy one as he was run out after his bat got stuck in the ground. And Twitterati had no intention to let one of their favorite stars get away with the gaffe.
Riding on a swashbuckling 132* from Shikhar Dhawan and an equally aggressive 82* from Virat Kohli India crushed Sri Lanka by 9 wickets in the first ODI at Dambulla. Earlier, another batting collapse from Sri Lanka after a good start meant that they were dismissed for a paltry total of 216.
Brief scores: Sri Lanka 216/10 (Niroshan Dickwella 64, Kusal Mendis 36; Axar Patel 3/34, Jasprit Bumrah 2/22) lost to India 220/1 (Shikhar Dhawan 132*, Virat Kohli 82*) by 9 wickets.
Here are the best tweets from the first ODI :
Well, this is so true (Watch incident here)

Even Aakash Chopra took a dig at the Indian opener
Bat getting stuck in the ground resulting in a runout. Well, there aren't too many more unfortunate ways to get out. #Rohit #SLvsIND

Still a better love story than Twilight
Dhawan and Sri Lanka is turning out to be quite a remarkable love story. Fantastic 100 again from @SDhawan25 #INDvSL

That's the biggest surprise that anyone can get
She: Surprise me.

Shikhar Dhawan:
Scored 338 runs in Champions trophy.
Scored 2 centuries in test against SL.
Started ODI series with a 100
Weren't we all??
I am not surprised that Sri Lanka lost 9 wickets for 77 runs but I am surprised how they scored 139/1 in first half...

Then what about T20s?

Test Cricket played like ODI Cricket...
ODI Cricket playing like T20 Cricket...
Well how about ‘Meme of the Match’ (sorry not sorry)
Man of the match should be Rohit Sharma for providing twitter a meme during the rather dull #INDvSL match. pic.twitter.com/lZ64zKJhqU
