Girls who won't tweet "I love you Pandya" till next 3 days should not call themselves a girl. Period!

Pandya can broker a peace treaty between Israel and Palestine, Solve world hunger and reverse global warning while posting his haircut selfies. #GOD #SAvIND

Some 90s are more valuable than many 100s....Pandya’s innings of 93 was one of those. Well played. #SAvIND
— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) January 6, 2018

Sanjay Manjrekar seems happier than South African commentators on Pandya’s dismissal !
— The-Lying-Lama (@KyaUkhaadLega) January 6, 2018

Considering bounce generated by Proteas bowling attack, De Cock will stretch himself into 1 cm taller after this innings. #SAvIND
— cricBC (@cricBC) January 6, 2018

Hardik Pandya is walking back 2 feet taller. Well done man. May this series seal your Test spot forever.
— Gabbbar (@GabbbarSingh) January 6, 2018

good day for hardik pandya. top score for india and top twitter trend in india #SAvIND
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) January 6, 2018

Don't worry Pandya, this inning is always better than hitting a century against Sri Lanka.#INDvSA
— Sunil- The Cricketer (@1sInto2s) January 6, 2018

India have one battle already: Elgar’s drop far more costly than Dhawan’s.
— Sambit Bal (@sambitbal) January 6, 2018

Rohit Sharma scored exactly 11 runs. That is 1 run as a tribute to each member of the team. That's team spirit for you. How many batsmen can boast of such creativity even in adverse conditions.. That's talent! #Legend

SA: mere paas bounce hai, pace hai, movement hai, world class fielding hai, home conditions hai, tumhare paas kya hai?

Batted Bhuvi after bowled Bhuvi. Fully expect Slept Bhuvi when he wakes up morrow morning. #SAvIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) January 6, 2018

Hardik Pandya is the second Gujarati after Mahatma Gandhi, thrashing South Africa when no one was there. #INDvSA #SAvIND
— Godman Chikna (@Madan_Chikna) January 6, 2018

If you think Pandya scored all this coz he got chances, sit down.
He didn't asked for it.
— Tabrez Shaikh (@its_tabrez_4u) January 6, 2018

Bhuvi is showing the way again, this time with the bat. Seems like he has spent some good amount of time batting in the nets in recent past #SAvIND
— Cricket bakchod (@AllTimeBakchod) January 6, 2018

If you drive like that to Dale Steyn you definitely deserve a bat sponsor ! Cmon sponsors. I will do the deal for you :) Well played @BhuviOfficial
— Vikram Sathaye (@vikramsathaye) January 6, 2018

Pandya is a cheat code
— Rehan Ulhaq (@Rehan_ulhaq) January 6, 2018

Hardik Pandya is like an IED, he just needs to know where to detonate it. To destroy the opposition & not commit suicide.
— Gabbbar (@GabbbarSingh) January 6, 2018

hardik pandya has played a fine innings here but don't underestimate the importance of bhuvneswar's unbeaten 0 in this partnership #SAvIND
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) January 6, 2018

Not the AB-esque counter-attack, but this is a high-quality knock from Pandya. If team management has done one thing right this match so far, it is how they have used their all-rounder. #SAvInd
— Chetan Narula (@chetannarula) January 6, 2018

The entire dressing room stands up and applauds and why not.

A very heroic innings from Hardik Pandya! Needs to carry on! #SAvIND
— Manya (@CSKian716) January 6, 2018

When everyone struggled Hardik Pandya scores half century against likes of Steyn, Rabbada, Morkel & Philander on seaming track and you can't give better birthday gift to Kapil Dev...
— Broken Cricket (@BrokenCricket) January 6, 2018

It's Kapil Dev's birthday and Hardik Pandya is celebrating.#SAvIND
— Nikhil Naz (@NikhilNaz) January 6, 2018

Pandya said to Bhuvi “mere ko pata nahi chal rha iska (Rabada) , mai single nahi lunga” 😂
— Jitender Singh (@j_dhillon6) January 6, 2018

Goddammit! Rabada has Rocket launchers installed in his shoulders. #SAvIND
— cricBC (@cricBC) January 6, 2018

Pandya reduced slip to two, achievement unlocked.
— Athar 🏏 (@cricdrugs) January 6, 2018

South Africa should thank Sri Lanka for their victory. #SAvIND
— Silly Point 🏏‏ (@FarziCricketer) January 6, 2018

The new hashtag should be #SAveINDIA
— Madhav Sharma (@HashTagCricket) January 6, 2018

*Pandya survives one over of Steyn*

*Puts 'fighter' in bio*
— Silly Point 🏏‏ (@FarziCricketer) January 6, 2018

Tears Tears! India avoid follow on with a @hardikpandya7 boundary off @DaleSteyn62 so much feel like Kapil Dev off Eddy Hemmings #SAvIND
— Unnikrishnan (@unni1974) January 6, 2018

Gully cricketers used to pray for others to get out early whenever they got dismissed cheaply. That's Dhawan in International cricket. 😂
— Silly Point 🏏‏ (@FarziCricketer) January 6, 2018

Pujara had to complete his lunch. Priorities hote hain. #SAvIND
— Silly Point 🏏‏ (@FarziCricketer) January 6, 2018

unfortunately for pujara, dhawan wasn't in the slips #SAvIND
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) January 6, 2018

Do they serve liquor in lunch break? #SAVIND
— cricBC (@cricBC) January 6, 2018

As a batsmen, THAT is NOT the look you would want on Steyn's face. #SAvIND
— cricBC (@cricBC) January 6, 2018

India have to defend but the flip side is that the game doesn't progress much and the loss of a wicket leaves you more vulnerable
— Harsha Bhogle (@bhogleharsha) January 6, 2018

Ashwin just demonstrated what Kohli might have done yesterday.#SAvIND
— FoMA Ramteke (@fomaramteke) January 6, 2018

Full marks to Rohit for battling so long and hard..more than most expected #SAvIND
— Hemant (@hemantbuch) January 6, 2018

Match summary:
India's best batsman got out yesterday.
India's talent also got out today.

And India's 2nd most good batsman on overseas tour is delivering water on the field.#INDvSA
— Sunil- The Cricketer (@1sInto2s) January 6, 2018

So Rabada in two balls has dismissed Rohit Sharma and injured Ashwin.
— Clive (@vanillawallah) January 6, 2018

Uh oh, Rohit goes, India in a deeper hole. SA pace attack unrelenting. How impressive is young Rabada!
— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) January 6, 2018

Rabada removes him but credits to Rohit to survive the first hour.
— Shubh AggarWall (@shubh_chintak) January 6, 2018

That review by Rohit Sharma was a tribute to the legendary batsman Shane Watson. #Respect #SAvsIND #SAvIND
— Omkar Mankame (@Oam_16) January 6, 2018

It's not often that you see the past, present and future hunting in pairs.

Only way out, grow a pair. #Steyn #Philander #Morkel #Rabada #SAvIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) January 6, 2018

Indian batsmen should be thankful to Umesh, Shami and Ishant that they have practiced 140+ km/hr bowling.#INDvSA
— Sunil- The Cricketer (@1sInto2s) January 6, 2018

It’s still a miracle that Morne Morkel’s hand hasn’t hit an aeroplane in the sky during his delivery 🛩✋🏻.#SAvIND
— Shridhar V (@iimcomic) January 6, 2018

Facing Morne Morkel be like. #INDvSA pic.twitter.com/Q17hSbQfKj

@cheteshwar1 is playing so close to his body that he can keep a newspaper tucked under his armpits to read in between overs.. @anandvasu
— wv raman (@wvraman) January 6, 2018

Love watching @DaleSteyn62 Bowl.
Back in the fold.. So chuffed! Look forward to seeing him collect his record he so deserves. #legend
