India vs Australia | Twitter reacts to India's batting collapse and Dhoni-Pandya show
A combined bowling unit effort, coupled with the fantastic half-centuries by Hardik Pandya and MS Dhoni helped India beat Australia by 26 runs in the first match of the ODI series. Twitterati showered their praise on the duo while also trolling India's unusual top-order collapse.
Brief scores: India 281/7 (Hardik Pandya 83, MS Dhoni 79; Nathan Coulter-Nile 3/44, Marcus Stoinis 2/54) beat Australia 137/9 (Glenn Maxwell 82, David Warner 51*; Yuzvendra Chahal 3/30) by 26 runs (DLS).
Can’t argue with that.

Of course, that didn’t last long.
Surprised To See IND: 16/3 In 6 Overs. Even More Surprised To See Rohit Sharma Still At The Crease Despite 3 Wickets Down.#INDvAUS #INDvsAUS

At least they didn’t have to bear with this wait for the rain to stop! Arrgh!
2 minutes of silence for those who stopped watching #INDvAUS match after 4 wickets and missed the wonderful innings of Dhoni and Pandya.
