Social Media Adds Its Two Bits About India Crumbling to NZ

Following India’s loss to New Zealand, social media adds its gleeful (and cruel) commentary.

Despite the odds being fully in their favour, India lost to New Zealand by 47 runs on Tuesday evening. Naturally, the Twitterati had plenty of observations to make, and not all were generous. Here’s the low down from Twitter: the snide, the kind and the nasty.

On Nagpur’s Pitch:

#IndvsNZ
I hope they don't have the feature called "turning point of the match." They'll have to one by one show all the points in the pitch

We Cannot Agree More

(Does our complicity make us anti-national?)

There was no better way New Zealand could have paid their respects to the legendary Martin Crowe! #IndvsNZ
