Twitter reacts to Afghanistan's apocalyptic collapse in historic Test

06/15/2018

Afghanistan's Test debut met a pretty underwhelming end as they were bowled out not once but twice in a single day as India wrapped up the match in two days. Twitterati, however, had a gala time as they had a lot to ponder over from Mohammad Shahzad's run-out to Hardik Pandya's superhuman throw.

Brief scores: India 474/10 ( Shikhar Dhawan 107, Murali Vijay 105; Yamin Ahmadzai 3/51, Wafadar 2/100) beat Afghanistan 109/10 (Mohammad Nabi 24, Mujeeb Ur Rahman 15; Ravichandran Ashwin 4/27, Ravindra Jadeja 2/18) and 103/10 (Hashmatullah Shahidi 36, Asghar Stanikzai 25; Ravindra Jadeja 4/17, Umesh Yadav 3/26) by an innings and 262 runs.

Shouldn’t have said this

"I can hit bigger sixes than Virat Kohli then what is the need to diet" - Mohammad Shahzad

This run out is why you need to diet bruh #IndvAfg

The fact of the day

FYI—India played the first Test match in 1932. India won their first Test match in 1952. India’s first Test win away from home was in 1968. #IndvAfg

Looks very difficult right now

What if Mohammad Shehzad goes all Sehwag and scores 244 (167) to swing the match?

Because he can. #INDvAFG

BCCI should totally prioritize this

On the iOS app ⁦@BCCI⁩ there ain’t provision for Follow On, showing AFG 2 inning as IND2. Is it ViratKohli effect ? #INDvAFG pic.twitter.com/sWNiNWZSFC

It’s going to be a tough one for the Indian team

Same like picking the right opening batting pair, picking the right Pace Bowling trio is also going to be a tough decision for Virat Kohli in England Series with the likes of Umesh Yadav, Ishant Sharma, Shami, Bhuvi & Bumrah. #INDvAFG #CBhaveyoursay

Fairplay to this guy

Its not #Afghanistan 's fault to perform like these, they are after all, up against the no. 1 test team. Meanwhile India will hopefully get an extra 3 days of rest now. Can't wait to see our pace attack to bowl in England conditions now. #INDvAFG

For all the excited young fans out there

Let Hardik Pandya become Irfan Pathan first before comparing him with the great Kapil Dev. Let the guy breathe and excel #INDvAFG
