Twitter reacts as India run South Africa out of Champions Trophy

06/11/2017

South Africa have always crumbled when under pressure earning themselves the tags of "Chokers" tag and they lived up to their reputation today. India were brilliant on the field, affecting THREE run-outs which turned the game around and the Twitterati did not spare the Proteas for the loss.

Brief Scores: South Africa 191/10 (Quinton de Kock 53, Faf du Plessis 36; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/23, Jasprit Bumrah 2/28) lost to India 193/2 (Shikhar Dhawan 78, Virat Kohli 76; Imran Tahir 1/37) by 8 wickets.

Here are some tweets from the game :

An open letter to the South African team from an Indian fan before the match!

Hey @OfficialCSA ,

Yet another ICC event, a knock-out match. Just go out there, play to potential and do what you do best. Choke.#IndvSA

Expectation!

Quinton de Kock has scored 50 on 5 occasions vs India in ODIs before today.

India have a shaky start to their chase, courtesy Rohit Sharma!

Fact is that Rohit Sharma avoids scoring runs in the matches when there is no chance of him scoring double century #respect #IndvSA

Rohit Sharma's biopic should be "The Accidental Talent" 😂
