Twitter reacts as India run South Africa out of Champions Trophy


South Africa have always crumbled when under pressure earning themselves the tags of "Chokers" tag and they lived up to their reputation today. India were brilliant on the field, affecting THREE run-outs which turned the game around and the Twitterati did not spare the Proteas for the loss.
Brief Scores: South Africa 191/10 (Quinton de Kock 53, Faf du Plessis 36; Bhuvneshwar Kumar 2/23, Jasprit Bumrah 2/28) lost to India 193/2 (Shikhar Dhawan 78, Virat Kohli 76; Imran Tahir 1/37) by 8 wickets.
Here are some tweets from the game :
