India vs South Africa | Twitter reacts to Manish Pandey-MS Dhoni masterclass and Chahal's expensive outing
When the Indian top-order comprising Rohit Sharma, Shikhar Dhawan, and Virat Kohli failed to get going, Manish Pandey and MS Dhoni took up the responsibility to steer India to a good total. The Twitterati, who usually criticize the pair, however, showered their praise on the duo for their effort.
Here are some tweets from the game:

First 19 balls - 24 runs, 1x4, 1x6

Not a good day for Chahal! :(
Winning ingredients : rain + wet ball + spinners #SAvIND

Chahal is the first India bowler to concede 7 sixes in a T20I match and 5th overall.

Other 4:
Broad v Ind, 2007
Doherty v WI, 2012
McCarthy v Afg, 2017
Tye v NZ, 2018#SAvInd
What a coincidence!
Best bowling figures for India in T20Is - Chahal (6/25 v Eng, 2017)

Most expensive figures for India in T20Is - Chahal (64 runs today)#SAvInd
MS Dhoni has two career fifties in T20Is and they came in these two matches 😂

Can't agree more!
Typical JP Duminy. Consistently below average then have the odd brilliant innings that wins the match & secures his place in the #Proteas squad for another 4 years. #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/mac1np80DW
