ICC has hired Pakistani as umpire.
Food is priority, always. 😹😹😹#IndvsSA #SAvIND

ICC is like indian mom. Beta khaana kha le pehle , kaam ke liye kaafi time hai karte rehna.

If Kohli hadn't bowled Hardik Pandya as much as he did, we wouldn't be seeing this farce of a lunch break. Karma has weird ways of biting you back in the ass, you see.
— Alagappan V (@IndianMourinho) February 4, 2018

Even South Africans were shocked to see the umpires call for lunch. If they had known, wo khud hi ek do wide daal ke match khatam kar dete 😂

Was going to say India have now won a test, an odi and a T20 on this tour, but umpires stopped me before the 20th over. Cricket humbles everyone. #SAvIND

Don't know why ICC has hired ex SBI employees as umpires#IndvsSA #SAvIND
— Tiilooo 2.0 (@KasamCinemaaki) February 4, 2018

Is there some clause that lunch will have to be paid for if the match ends before? Just asking. #SAvIND #INDvSA
— Jaideep Ghosh (@jd0893) February 4, 2018

Sri Lanka is waiting for BCCI to invite them for a 6 over match during lunch break #SAvsIND
— GoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala) February 4, 2018

A very important afternoon session is coming up. Really.#SAvIND
— FoMA Ramteke (@fomaramteke) February 4, 2018

Are you kidding me? 2 runs to win, and we're taking a lunch break? Ridiculous! #SAvsIND #INDvSA
— Gautam (@gautammahajan11) February 4, 2018

Its at times like this that cricket makes itself into a laughing stock #INDvSA
— Gulu Ezekiel (@gulu1959) February 4, 2018

They postponed the lunch when India needed 19 runs.
They have taken the lunch when India needs 2 runs.

ICC needs to do something with the rules.#INDvSA
— Sunil- The Cricketer (@1sInto2s) February 4, 2018

Lunch break taken with 2 runs left to win. And people wonder why cricket is gradually losing its popularity. Farcical! Fans walking out already and pretty sure they won't return. #SAvIND
— Rohith Nair (@RohithNair) February 4, 2018

Are You Serious??? Taking lunch with India needing 2 runs to win. Cricket is its own enemy. 🙈🙊 #SAvIND
— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) February 4, 2018

Now everybody will remember this match forever! 👏🏻 #SAvIND
— Arjun Ashok (@arj_90) February 4, 2018

Small run chases often turn out very dicey. So, a quick start was very important. Therefore, don't underestimate quick-fire 15 runs from the Rohit Sharma which gave much needed impetus to the chase. #Talent
— Keh Ke Peheno (@coolfunnytshirt) February 4, 2018

That was Sterling-esque from Morkel.
— Tareque Laskar (@tarequelaskar) February 4, 2018

Got all out on 118.
Doing mis-fielding.

Are Pakistani players playing in the ground wearing South African jersey?#INDvSA
— Sunil- The Cricketer (@1sInto2s) February 4, 2018

Why mess with Kohli bruh ? He is not JP Duminy.
— Arfan 🏏 (@Im__Arfan) February 4, 2018

Hardik Pandya is such a large hearted bowler. Concedes runs irrespective of the position of the opposition.
— Saurabh Malhotra (@MalhotraSaurabh) February 4, 2018

Think Rohit Sharma and Quinton de Kock scored same number of runs this tour.
— Abhishek (@absycric) February 4, 2018

Virat Kohli walks in at 26 for 1, with only 93 needed for victory. Can't get a century even if he hits a six with scores tied - so South Africa can say they have denied him a chasing century no matter what.
— Saurabh Somani (@saurabh_42) February 4, 2018

Very casual cricket from Rohit Sharma! Maybe because he knew a 200 wasn't possible today #SAvIND
— GoanPatiala (@TheGoanPatiala) February 4, 2018

Just 98 Runs More For Dhoni to Take 10K Runs But I think With Indian Bowling Unit & India Batting Unit , Dhoni Want to Wait for One More Year to Get this 98 Runs 👊
— Johns 🏏 (@CricCrazyJohns) February 4, 2018

it's increasingly looking like Yuzvendra Chahal and Kuldeep Yadav will end a few ODI careers before this tour is over. And we're not necessarily talking of South African ones. #SAvIND
— Dileep Premachandran (@SpiceBoxofEarth) February 4, 2018

Looks like a lotta people will get to know Chahal’s first name today #Yuzvendra #SAvIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) February 4, 2018

India inspired by India U-19 it seems. #savind
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) February 4, 2018

What sort of pitch will SA serve in the next ODI?

Dug out pitch that leads to abandonment.#SAvsIND

South African batting without ABD and FAF #SAvIND pic.twitter.com/yJefaIgMvK

Earlier broadcaster ruined live telecast and now South Africa ruining Kohli's Century chance...
— Broken Pundit (@Brokenpundit) February 4, 2018

Kuldeep and Chahal deny Virat Kohli yet another ODI 100 #SAvIND
— Vignesh Ananthasubramanian (@MadridistaSays) February 4, 2018

If Chahal doesn’t get you, Kuldeep will and vice versa #SAvsIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) February 4, 2018

Kuldeep Chahal might go down as one of the most successful bowling pairs in the history!
— Nikhil Mane 🏏🇦🇺 (@nikhiltait) February 4, 2018

South African batting minus Faf and ABDV = ?? #SAvIND
— Aakash Chopra (@cricketaakash) February 4, 2018

Right, so Hardik Pandya bowls because it’s the Friendship Series #SAvsIND
— Gaurav Sethi (@BoredCricket) February 4, 2018

Indian team is taking wickets faster than Yogi adityanath in UP.
— EngiNerd. (@mainbhiengineer) February 4, 2018

Jacques Kallis was batting all-rounder.
Kapil Dev was bowling all-rounder.

Hardik Pandya is fielding all-rounder.#INDvSA
— Sunil- The Cricketer (@1sInto2s) February 4, 2018

This SA team is not even worth watching on tv, without AB and Faf they look a very ordinary unit. The other side of the fence, India have looked thoroughly professional. #INDvSA
— Lachu 'Wouldjyoubelieveit' Siva (@spindoctorLS) February 4, 2018

Mysore Bonda > Khaya Zondo
— Alagappan V (@IndianMourinho) February 4, 2018

India have two mystery spinners and one spinner whose bowling is a mystery #SAvIND
— Gaurav Kalra (@gauravkalra75) February 4, 2018

Pandya's on field attitude & demeanour are writing cheques which his performance can't encash. #SAvIND
— Gabbbar (@GabbbarSingh) February 4, 2018

In 74-4,Hardik contributed more to SA than QDK/Hash that too with less deliveries. I love this guy.
— Arfan 🏏 (@Im__Arfan) February 4, 2018

Bhuvneshwar kumar's deliveries have more swing than my girlfriend's moods. #SAvIND
— Arvind Sriram (@whitescammer) February 4, 2018

JP Duminy's expression after seeing that ball turn sharply was priceless
Must be thinking if this is Centurion or Chepauk! #SAvIND
— Hari Sadanandan (@iamharry_88) February 4, 2018

Dhoni is first coach who is part of playing 11 in International cricket. #INDvSA
— Psycho (@i_Psycho) February 4, 2018

Kuldeep yadav denying Kohli another hundred. 😐 #SAvIND
— Gabbbar (@GabbbarSingh) February 4, 2018

Miller's bat goes left, ball goes right. We are in for immense fun today.
— Alagappan V (@IndianMourinho) February 4, 2018

Amla and de Kock gone early, @ABdeVilliers17 and Faf not playing, SA up against it
— Cricketwallah (@cricketwallah) February 4, 2018

Ashwin and Jadeja should start playing domestic cricket abroad. Only chance to have a career in the international team. #SAvIND #INDvSA
— Gautam (@gautammahajan11) February 4, 2018

And another. Captain falls to @imkuldeep18 India on top at Centurion. Fragile middle order to follow. #SAvsIND #FreedomSeries #spin
