Twitter reacts to India winning thriller in Thiruvananthapuram
The Twitterati had a meltdown as yet another series decider was marred by the heavy rains. But thanks to the ground staff, the match went ahead as an 8 over game. Even though the Indian batsmen weren't up to the mark, the bowlers made up for it with a brilliant performance to secure the series.
Brief scores: India 67/5 in 8 overs (Manish Pandey 17, Hardik Pandya 14; Tim Southee 2/13, Ish Sodhi 2/23) beat New Zealand 61/6 (Colin de Grandhomme 17*, Glenn Phillips 11; Jasprit Bumrah 2/9, Kuldeep Yadav 1/10) by 6 runs.
Here are the funny tweets from the game:

Isn't Rohit Sharma the Vice-captain? 
As per the new playing rules 4 bowlers can bowl 2overs each. Last minute team selection discussions between Virat MSD and Ravi. #INDvNZ pic.twitter.com/gftoKaE1fJ

Consistency matters!
Don't Criticise Bhumi Pujan Shikhar Dhawan & Rohit Sharma. Never Easy To Maintain Such Consistency For So Long
