Twitter reacts as Tabraiz Shamsi drops sitters to help India win the T20 series

02/24/2018

While Rohit Sharma went out for cheap and Virat Kohli didn't turn up, it was Tabraiz Shamsi who took away the cake after dropping catches of Shikhar Dhawan and Suresh Raina, who helped India set up the target. A ruthless Twitterati left the wrist spinner no slack while trolling his buttery fingers.

Brief Scores: India 172/7 (Shikhar Dhawan 47, Suresh Raina 43; Junior Dala 3/35, Chris Morris 2/43) beat South Africa 165/6 (JP Duminy 55, Christiaan Jonker 49; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/24, Hardik Pandya 1/22) by 7 runs.Here are the tweets from the game:

The real reason why Virat Kohli didn't start today!

Virat Kohli is not playing the match. According to unconfirmed reports, he is yet to come out of the shock that Dhoni can abuse better than him.

And Rohit Sharma gets out early. Surprise Surprise!

Rohit Sharma in overseas as useless as "ueue" in "Queue"
— RANJITH (@sirranjithkk)

Haters will disagree!

Runs and centuries are not everything. Rohit Sharma valiantly faced the wrath of Junior Dala while Virat Kohli ran away. True hero Rohit.

What a start by Raina!

Suresh Raina starts his innings with a six.

And then came in the Shamsi Train!

DROP! Shamsi again! That's two now. Rubbish. Absolutely rubbish discipline. He's an embarrassment in the field.

You can always bet on Shamsi dropping the ball or two or 8.

Herschelle Gibbs' would've caught that today. With one hand, while tweeting with the other about Shamsi.

This CSK fan must've waited for a long time to crack this joke! :P

Junior Dala to Senior Thala
— Sriram (@ImSriram_)

And then this happened!

Now that's SA fielding! Junior Dala throws in from the boundary and bang on the stumps. Dhawan 47 off 40. 126/4/17.4

That's a good observation!

Hardik Pandya is Indian Welbeck with Pogba hairstyle and dabbing skills.

Everyone in India right now! :P

Am I the only one who feel that Cameraman is not showing captain Rohit Sharma? 😬

Why the hell are they showing Dhoni Everytime 😂😂
— Saurav Kumar (@bleachsunny)

Suresh Raina.. what aaaa..

Dhoni for 3 times: Dande pe tez mat daalna

Raina: bullets in through the pads get hits for four..
