Ravichandran Ashwin and Mohammed Shami wrapped up the New Zealand innings in the second session of Day 5 to hand India a comfortable 197-run win in the first Test at Kanpur. Fans took to Twitter to celebrate the win, troll Sanjay Manjrekar's commentary, and, of course, Rohit Sharma.

Sanjay Manjrekar and Ravi Shastri are like the Kardashians of commentary - entertaining, but not how they intended it to be.

Did Ravi Shastrii lose a bet?

Me: "Is this India's 500th Test?"

Siva: "Yes"

Gavaskar: [West Indian accent] "Yah man"

Shastri: "BCCI can neither confirm nor deny rumours"

Who needs Carl Sagan when you got Manjrekar in the commentary box.

Sanjay Manjrekar can cook food with his commentary. Itna pakaata hai.
— Sagar (@sagarcasm)

Rohit Sharma just cannot get a break, doesn't he. Fans troll the Mumbaikar again.

Lol playing the Gupta ji card just like India's Sharma ji.

Sushant Singh trained himself so hard for the movie still team selectors chose Rohit Sharma over him, shame.

India leads by 56 runs and 35 of those runs were scored by rohit .. who think he didn't deserve a place in the team

Meanwhile, Virat Kohli continues to impress as a captain.

Ashwin is slowly creating a legacy.
