Twitter reacts to Sunil Gavaskar's horrible commentary and Virat Kohli's commendable century
Sunil Gavaskar, infamous for his bad commentary, resorted to one of his annoying alphabetical ballyhoo about AB de Villiers yet again, which left Twitterati cringing to the bone. Thankfully, they had other things to rejoice with Virat Kohli reaching his 35th century as India won the series 5-1.
Here are the tweets from the game:
And Amla departs early!
Hashim Amla ends his ODI series with 154 runs at 25.66.

So far, with one entire SA innings left, that's the most runs by any South African batsman this series.#SAvInd #SAvsInd
CSK fans right now!
Caught MS, bowled Shardul. Hey @ChennaiIPL, we would like this to be the first of many, eh?

And then this happened!
Dear Sunil Gavaskar, please stop this torture (in every match) with your version of expansion of ABCD....Z for ABDe Villiers. It sounds pretty silly, to say the least. #INDvAUS #SonyTen1 @36notout

Switch off your TV / Change the channel / Poke your ears until Deaf
SunnyG might continue until Z.
Come on BCCI, make it happen!
The only good thing about Ravi Shastri becoming india's coach is that we don't have to hear his commentary

If he could make his brother Sunil Gavaskar assistant coach, we can get rid of his commentary too
Such bothersome and exasperating way of commentary he does@bhogleharsha
This song comes to mind when we hear that commentary from Sunny G!

The real reason behind ABD's wicket!
ABD lost his concentration after hearing Sunil Gavaskar go A to Z.

Virat Kohli's SA tour in a nutshell!
Anushka returned to India early January, but Kohli's honeymoon in South Africa hasn't come to end yet. #SAvIND

And he strikes again!
Gavaskar just claimed on commentary that Kohli's first ODI 100 came in his 105th ODI. I really don't know what to say... #SAvIND
