Twitter reacts to Sunil Gavaskar's horrible commentary and Virat Kohli's commendable century

02/16/2018

Sunil Gavaskar, infamous for his bad commentary, resorted to one of his annoying alphabetical ballyhoo about AB de Villiers yet again, which left Twitterati cringing to the bone. Thankfully, they had other things to rejoice with Virat Kohli reaching his 35th century as India won the series 5-1.

Here are the tweets from the game:

And Amla departs early!

Hashim Amla ends his ODI series with 154 runs at 25.66.

So far, with one entire SA innings left, that's the most runs by any South African batsman this series.

CSK fans right now!

Caught MS, bowled Shardul. Hey , we would like this to be the first of many, eh?
— Aaditya Narayan (@Aaditya_LFC)

And then this happened!

Dear Sunil Gavaskar, please stop this torture (in every match) with your version of expansion of ABCD....Z for ABDe Villiers. It sounds pretty silly, to say the least.

**WARNING**

Switch off your TV / Change the channel / Poke your ears until Deaf

SunnyG might continue until Z.

Come on BCCI, make it happen!

The only good thing about Ravi Shastri becoming india's coach is that we don't have to hear his commentary

If he could make his brother Sunil Gavaskar assistant coach, we can get rid of his commentary too

Such bothersome and exasperating way of commentary he does
— Elon Modi (@restlessler)

This song comes to mind when we hear that commentary from Sunny G!

Sunil Gavaskar going ABCD like..
— Harshdeep Singh (@_harshdeep)

The real reason behind ABD's wicket!

ABD lost his concentration after hearing Sunil Gavaskar go A to Z.

Rohit Sharma got out early to make this match interesting.
