Twitter reacts to India struggling in their second innings against South Africa again

01/16/2018

After Mohammed Shami ran through South Africa's middle-order in the second session, Faf du Plessis made sure that the hosts managed to reach a very competitive score of 258 in their 2nd innings. After the Indian top order collapsed again, the Twitterati came out in numbers to do some public bashing.

Brief Scores :South Africa 335 (Aiden Markram 94, Hashim Amla 82; R Ashwin 4/113, Ishant Sharma 3/46) & 258 (AB de Villiers 80, Dean Elgar 61, Mohammed Shami 4/49, Jasprit Bumrah 3/70) lead India 307 (Virat Kohli 153, Morne Morkel 4-60) & 35/3 (Cheteshwar Pujara 11*, Murali Vijay 9; Lungi Ngidi 2/14, Kagiso Rabada 1/9) by 252 runs.

Here are the best tweets from today's action:

And I read this without using a dictionary. feeling proud!!

I think it’s fair to point out that @SDhawan25 may not have lasted more balls than his replacement but he scored 16&16 while @klrahul11 scored 10&2. Some offence is preferable to poor defence.

What goes around comes around

Lungi got Kohli. Yes, that's not the other way around this time. #IndvsSA #Kohli

Long way to go for Team India

Many commentators were comparing the current Indian squad with the Australian squad of 2000-2007. Well it seems that our players don't agree with it . #IndvsSA

This much of rage with that name WOAH!!

Every now and then, batsmen will get an unplayable ball. That is why KL Rahul throwing away his wicket is absolutely criminal in the fourth innings of the match.#INDvSA #INDvsSA #SAvIND #SAvsIND

At least bring good commentators so match won’t be boring

#AskTheExperts Don't you have good commentators???? You only found MuraliKartik and AjayJadeja? Try to give maximum mike to HarshaBhogal and VivekRazdan. @INDvsSA

Smart move BCCI *slow claps*

India ki South Africa me haalat dekhte hue BCCI ne ab Afghanistan ke saath hi Test match fix kar diya..#IndvsSA #INDvSA

The only way India can win overseas!!

When chasing a target in the fourth innings, every Indian batsman should get at least two chances. I hope BCCI considers my suggestion and forces it in the next ICC meet.#INDvSA #INDvsSA #SAvIND #SAvsIND
