Twitter reacts to Hitman Sharma and Gabbar Dhawan putting on a show against Ireland
Thanks to Rohit Sharma and Shikhar Dhawan's 160-run opening strand, India ran out comfortable winners in a match which was littered with dropped catches. The Twitterati had their share of fun as Rohit Sharma missed out on his third T20I century and Kuldeep Yadav spinning webs around the Irish.
Brief Scores : India 208/5 (Rohit Sharma 97, Shikhar Dhawan 74; Peter Chase 4/35, Kevin O’Brien 1/36) beat Ireland 132/10 (James Shannon 60, Stuart Thompson 12; Kuldeep Yadav 4/21, Yuzvendra Chahal 3/38) by 76 runs.
It’s all India here
