India bowed out of the World T20 after an entertaining encounter against West Indies on Thursday night, and the insane game reflected on Twitter.
From Virat Kohli’s batting and bowling heroics to hate for Hardik Pandya and the eventual despair of getting knocked out, here are some of the best tweets sent out during the match:
The 50-plus opening partnership, finally!
First 50+ partnership for India in 11 T20Is.

Later tonight Kohli will be in that unfamiliar territory called platform. #WT20

Kohli’s luck, running and crazy hitting — and oh, a bit of Rahane

Only Kohli is brilliant enough to survive two run-out chances in one ball…

19 doubles by India today – joint-third most in a T20I inns.

If he keeps this up Kohli should get presented with the WT20 trophy on his own while the rest of the Indian side wait on the team bus

I’d do unimaginable things just to be that white towel tucked in Kohli’s pants.

Bumrah yorks Gayle
Interesting. Not going to Ashwin straight up. Actually, not a bad idea — if Bumrah can get swing, with his length — and as I type that…

The Pandya overs and the no-balls… disaster, basically

Oh good grief!!! NOT short on the stumps. Not at Pandya’s pace, not on this track, not to the Windies.
