Social media attacks Indian team after a poor batting display in first test

India collapsed to a 72-run defeat on the fourth day of the first Test against South Africa in a meeting of the world’s two top-ranked teams. Number one ranked India took eight Proteas wickets in the morning session as they bowled the hosts out for 130, leaving them needing 208 for victory in first test. But India were dismissed for 135, with South Africa’s Vernon Philander taking a career-best 6-42. Read: Interview: India is a Cricket Super power, they are really strong, says Kepler Wessels

Victory in Cape Town gives South Africa a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. A successful chase had looked possible for India when captain Virat Kohli was at the crease but he was trapped lbw by Philander for 28 to leave the score at 71-4. Ravichandran Ashwin top scored with 37 but Philander took the final three wickets in four balls to complete the victory.

The passionate Indian fans though didn’t take much time and trolled Indian cricket team for the poor display in first test.

 

The second test is scheduled from 13th January in Centurion.
