Twitter Roasts Team India As They Lose The Series

Cricket LoungeBy Cricket Lounge17/01/2018Updated:08/02/2023No Comments4 Mins Read

India’s chance of winning the test series in South Africa dashed as India lost by 135 runs to the Proteas in the second test. The result of the Centurion Test turned out to be no different from the Cape Town Test as the batsmen once again let the side down.

In the second innings India was all out for just 151 with Rohit Sharma top scoring with an innings of 47. The debutant Lungi Ngidi unleashed a havoc on the Indian batting line up in the second innings and took 6 wickets to destroy the Indian batting line up.

Ngidi’s heroics with the ball and some spectacular catches by South African fielders saw South Africa winning the series with one test still to be played.

As Virat Kohli and his men lost the match and the series, Twitter has all sorts of reactions for team India. These reactions range from supporting the team in their bad times to trolling them for the loss.

With this series loss, India’s streak of 9 series win has finally been broken by South Africa and you got to say that they outdid India in all departments of the game. India did put up a fight in the first innings with the captain playing a staggering knock of 153 but in the second innings no Indian batsman could go past 50.

The pacers did well even at Centurion but the loss is the courtesy of the batsmen yet again just like it was the case at Cape Town. From dropping catches to throwing away wickets, India has made a lot of mistakes in the second test which eventually cost them the match. India would only want to learn from these mistakes.

For his clinical performance with the ball, Lungi Ngidi was adjudged the Man Of Match. In what turned out to be a dream debut for the 21 year old, Ngidi picked up 7 wickets in the game, 6 of which came in the second innings.

Here’s How Twitter Reacted to India’s loss:

Intent is good. Getting out early and ending up in tent, where you can only watch and not score runs, not so much so. #SAvIND

Ab Sri Lanka ke sath 25 match ki test series rakhenge Indore mein, wahan Sita ji ki kidnapping tak ka hissab lenge ! #INDvSA

India – lenge Hisab 25 saal ka

Abject, pathetic, spineless #IndiaBatting

Lungi ne India ki pant utar di.#SAvsIND

Superman is at the Centurion, he just isn’t wearing a cape #SAvIND

Fair to say AB De Villiers is loving playing in whites for South Africa. Forget what happens in the 3rd test, he has been the man of the series #SAvIND

Waiting for Virat Kohli to handover the test captainship to Ajinkya Rahane as soon as possible.

Ngidi and Rabada are also going to terrorise a lot of batsmen across the cricketing landscape. This could be a fearsome pair if both of the remain fit #SAvIND

— Bharath Ramaraj (@Fancricket12) January 17, 2018

India is playing like ‘Sri Lanka who plays against India in India’ in South Africa. #IndvSA #SAvsIND

— Godman Chikna (@Madan_Chikna) January 17, 2018

He was looking good @cheteshwar1 why would risk a run??? Bail coming out or not it was not needed. This is bloody frustrating. Gift to SAF.

Wapas bula lo team ko south africa se, ab aur beizzatti sahi nahi ja rahi

— EngiNerd. (@mainbhiengineer) January 17, 2018

Pujara likes getting run out both innings. Parthiv loves getting out on 19 both innings.#SAvIND #SAvsIND

— Suneer (@suneerchowdhary) January 17, 2018

The only problem with Virat Kohli that he is going to win a test match with specialist ODI players and specialist test players are sitting on the bench.#INDvSA

— Young Struggling Man (@1sInto2s) January 17, 2018

About Hardik Pandya, it will often be said: “but that’s the way he plays”. And it can’t be said that India are going down without intent.

— Sambit Bal (@sambitbal) January 17, 2018

To their credit, India have managed to take the pitch out of the equation today #SAvInd
