Twitter react to Kuldeep Yadav's brilliant hat-trick
The Twitterati went into meltdown as Kuldeep Yadav became only the 3rd Indian to pick up a hat-trick in ODIs after Chetan Sharma and Kapil Dev. When the momentum appeared to be with Australia, Kuldeep came in a wrecked havoc and stopped the visitors from chasing down the 253-run target.
Brief scores: India 252/10 (Virat Kohli 92, Ajinkya Rahane 55; Nathan Coulter-Nile 3/51, Kane Richardson 3/55) beat Australia 202/10 (Steve Smith 59, Marcus Stoinis 62*; Kuldeep Yadav 3/54, Bhuvneshwar Kumar 3/9) by 50 runs.
Here are some tweets from the match:
