South Africa scored a mammoth total against India at the Wankhede Stadium on Sunday in the fifth and final ODI as they posted 437/4 in the allotted fifty overs.
As the Proteas massacred the Indian team, the micro-blogging site was flooded with fans’ reaction.
Here are some of the best:
Team India need a similar out of the box pep talk. #INDvSA

Massive, MASSIVE target set by SA. AB gets a hundred as well after Qdk and Faf. How is the Indian batting going to be? 😐 #INDvSA

144/2 in the last 10 overs. It’s down to the pitch and the quality of bowling/batting…even with the new ODI rules #IndvSA

438 is a number @OfficialCSA know well. #INDvSA

India need to reach 158/0 in 20 overs and then hope for rain India will then win by 10 wkts (D/L method) #IndvSA

Interesting to be a fly on the wall in the Indian change room during the break given the need to be positive. Still got to have a plan.
