Twitter Reactions: India surrender to South Africa in the final ODI: It was expected to be the best match of the series since both the teams wanted to register a win and get their hands on the ODI series trophy. Those who expected a close game were left gasping when the South African batsmen went all guns blazing and never gave the Indian bowlers a chance to control one off the 50 overs.
Opener Quinton de Kock who has been in love with the Indian bowlers right thorough out his career smashed 17 boundaries and a sublime six to score 109 off 87 balls at a strike rate of 125.28, the 4th of his career against India.
Faf du Plessis took over from Hashim Amla and got to his fifty off 61 balls. South Africa had 200 on the board in 29 overs. The duo of du Plessis and de Villiers brought up their 50 partnership off 47 balls; soon ABD reached his fifty off 34 balls. The partnership turned big and they got to the 100 from just 77 balls.
The Proteas got to 300 in the 41st over, as the Indian bowlers struggled to get their act together. In the end with a century by Faf (133) and AB (119) South Africa posted 438-4 in 50 overs.
Indian batsmen had a huge-huge task at hand and if ever they had to get there they needed the top order to bat big, nobody did and the best innings that came up for the Indians was from the Mumbai lad Ajinkya Rahane who scored a respectable 87 off 58 balls. But in the end 439 runs were little too much for India to manage and they fell short by a massive margin of 214 runs.
With that South Africa take the series and it is their 1st ever bilateral series win in India.
Here is how Twitter reacted to South Africa’s win, the Twitter Reactions:

What a bowler this young, 20 year old Rabada is! Will follow his career very closely now have become a huge admirer. #INDvSA

Well played, South Africa. While it's difficult to look beyond AB's 3 centuries,it'll be foolish not to appreciate & acknowledge Rabada

Tendulkar gave up his captaincy in 2000 after 2-0 loss against SA. Realistic chance of Dhoni choosing the same option. #IndvSA

That's the end of the IND innings. We must give credit to SA for putting up a clinical performance to win the ODI final #INDvSA #OrangeArmy

AB de Villiers has hit 35 sixes in ODIs in India – the most by any player in a particular country away from home (excluding in UAE). #INDvSA
— Cricket Record (@cricinfo_record) October 25, 2015
The way AB de Villiers has started, he seems it seems he's the only one who can get him out……..

World Cricket has found a new bowling star in Kagiso Rabada. #IndvSA
— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) October 25, 2015
Viru is not playing for Delhi now, but it would be mot juste if he gets a farewell at the Kotla where last Test versus SA will be played
— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) October 25, 2015
Rabada would be a serious rival to de Villiers for player of the series. He's worked up serious pace & for one so young, shown gr8 maturity
— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) October 25, 2015
The defeat by 214 runs is India's 2nd biggest in ODIs.
Lost to SL by 245 runs at Sharjah in Oct 2000
This is biggest loss at home!#IndvSA— Mohandas Menon (@mohanstatsman) October 25, 2015
AB de Villiers: "What a great day for South African cricket. We haven't achieved this [ODI series win in India] before." #INDvSA
— ESPNcricinfo (@ESPNcricinfo) October 25, 2015
AB de Villiers says he just keep the things simple. Well if what he did today was simple then what would be a complex situation for him?
— Mazher Arshad (@MazherArshad) October 25, 2015
Moment of the day for me. In the post match presentations, when asked about his batting,
AB said "I like to keep it simple "— Sanjay Manjrekar (@sanjaymanjrekar) October 25, 2015
