Twitter reacts as India "drop" the match against West Indies
The Twitterati were furious after the Indian cricket team let the match slip away from the grasp after setting a competitive target of 191. The Indian batsmen started off well but threw away their wickets cheaply which resulted in India falling short of the optimal target by 10-20 runs.
Brief Scores : India 190/6 (Dinesh Karthik 48, Virat Kohli 39; Jerome Taylor 2/31, Kersick Williams 3/42) lost to Windies 194/1 (Evin Lewis 125*, Marlon Samuels 36*; Kuldeep Yadav 1/34) by 9 wickets.
India received a big blow even before the match had started!
Blow for India with @hardikpandya7 limping off. And @YUVSTRONG12 not fit maybe. Means @imjadeja plays that all-rounder role

Dhoni's innings ended in the blink of an eye! :|
Dhoni's birthday video lasted longer than Dhoni's innings.

If Dhoni was Dhronacharya then Pant is his Arjuna!
Rishabh Pant also got out just after Dhoni... A great tribute on the occasion of GuruPoornima.#INDvWI

Dinesh Karthik being Dinesh Karthik!
If throwing your wicket is an Olympic sport, Dinesh Karthik will win it hands down #WIvsIND

And he did!
Virat Kohli would want Gayle to play the way he plays under his captaincy #WIvsIND

After 2 dropped catches.....
Evin Lewis 53 BALLS
— Ishara Isuru 🏏⚽️🏉 (@Ishisuru1) July 9, 2017
100#INDvWI
Jokes apart, what an innings by Lewis!
Evin Lewis took only 13 innings to score his second International T20 Century which is fastest ever by any player in T20I history...
— Virat Kohli #WIvIND (@imViratKohliFC) July 9, 2017
Evin Lewis's 100 Off 53 Balls Has Destroyed Indian Bowling Brutally. 2 Centuries. Both Against India.#IndvsWI #INDvWI
