Twitter Reacts to India and West Indies’ Fight to the Finish

This is how the Twitterati reacted to the exciting India West Indies World T20 Cup semi final match

It was an entertaining affair when tournament favourites India took on West Indies in the second Semi Final of the ongoing ICC T20 World Cup 2016. After being put in to bat first, India, riding on Kohli’s heroics, posted a total of 192 for the loss of 2 wickets.

However, much to the disappointment Indian cricket fans, West Indies chased it down with 2 balls to spare. A brilliant knock of 82 and 52 by Simmons and Johnson Charles respectively and a couple of no balls by Indian bowlers sealed the deal.

With runs flowing, the match was a cracker to watch. And as Ravi Shastri would put it, “Cricket is the real winner”.

This is how Twitter reacted after the match.

Feel bad for #Kohli. Was magical with the bat & towards the end even with the ball but guess what it ain't a 1 man job. Take a bow! #IndvsWI
