Twitter reacts to Virat Kohli securing India's first ODI win in Durban
Virat Kohli played a near perfect knock to get India close to the finish line on a difficult wicket in Durban to hand India a 1-0 lead in the series. The Twitterati joined the action and after praising Kohli for his valiant knock, they took a small dig at MS Dhoni who hit the winning runs again.
Brief scores : South Africa 269/8 in 50 overs (Faf du Plessis 120, Chris Morris 37; Kuldeep Yadav 3/34, Yuzvendra Chahal 2/45) lost to India 270/4 (Virat Kohli 112, Ajinkya Rahane 79; Andile Phehlukwayo 2/42, Morne Morkel 1/35) by six wickets.
Here are the best tweets from the match :

Virat: Cash, credit to Dhoni le gya 😏#INDvSA #SAvIND
Even we loved it
Love watching Virat & Ajinkya batting together. They remind me of Sachin & Dravid. All that style, class & elegance. Most importantly, the calm. #INDvSA

You do not win a toss and decide to bat first when you have the chase machine on the other side! #Kohli #INDvSA
