India beat South Africa in the World Cup 2015 the best twitter reactions

India beat South Africa in the World Cup 2015 the best twitter reactions: That feeling which you have once you successfully complete the big test, on your way to the final exam is exactly how the Indian cricket team players must be feeling at this moment as they successfully beat South Africa by 150 runs in their second match in the ICC Cricket World Cup 2015 at the MCG.

South Africa was considered to be a favorite to win the match and it was up to India to perform good enough on the day to beat them. MS Dhoni won the toss and on a hard MCG pitch decided to bat first. Shikhar Dhawan, Virat Kohli and Ajinkya Rahane propelled India a total in access of 300.

300 was always going to be tough to chase under lights and it proved to be. The Indian bowlers were up for the task right from the first over and we saw one of the most disciplined efforts from Umesh Yadav and Mohammad Shami to not let de Kock and Hashim Amla get away.

Once the spinners came in, it was tougher, the ball was gripping on the surface and Dhoni held Ashwin back and got him in when the left handers were batting. Regular wickets, brilliant fielding, some proactive and up to the task captaincy from MS Dhoni kept the South African batsmen in the pressure cooker all the while and never let them off the hook.

In the end the Indian target proved 130 runs more than what the ten South African batsmen could collectively score. A clinical, professional and champion like performance by team India and now they are a real force to reckon in this ICC Cricket World Cup 2015. Watch out Australia and New Zealand; India will test you.
