Twitter reacts as India's nine-series winning streak coming to an end

01/17/2018

After winning a record 9 consecutive Test series, India finally ran out of steam as they succumbed to their 2nd loss in the 3-match series to hand the Freedom Trophy back to the Proteas. The Twitterati jumped at the chance of having some fun at India's expense after yet another batting collapse.

Brief Scores : South Africa 335 (Aiden Markram 94, Hashim Amla 82; R Ashwin 4/113, Ishant Sharma 3/46) & 258 (AB de Villiers 80, Dean Elgar 61, Mohammed Shami 4/49, Jasprit Bumrah 3/70) beat India 307 (Virat Kohli 153, Morne Morkel 4-60) & 151 (Rohit Sharma 47, Mohammed Shami 28; Lungi Ngidi 6/39, Kagiso Rabada 3/47) by 135 runs.

Here are the best tweets from the day's action :

Shami has defeated Rohit Sharma to become the best nightwatchman of Indian team. He will now compete with Ishant Sharma to hold his title.

At least we kept the record intact

Well done . You guys are the real champs today. Our overseas test records remain stuff of legends.

Not a guess, it's the truth

Rarely do you see a batsman of such calibre being so bored out there and itching to get out via nothing shots. Flat track bullying is his USP, I guess.

Let’s file petition to bring Kumble back

this test was lost after team selection. Easy to see now but if Kumble was there he wouldn't allow such haphazard approach to counter last test. This is a failure to learn frm the previous failure.

Difference in Team India's performance in Home & Away conditions is as much as a Politician before & after election.

Please take a note of this BCCI

I feel Indian cricketers should now start playing leagues in Australia, South Africa, England. The stats are getting very poor!
