India vs South Africa: 'On the rise', Twitterati react to Men in Blues' win in third T20I

India finally won a match in the ongoing five-match T20I series against South Africa. The hosts thumped the Proteas by 48 runs after bowling them out for 131 while chasing 180. Batting first, openers Ishan Kishan and Ruturaj Gaikwad were on a roll after both the batters struck individual fifties to help India put 179/5 in 20 overs on the board. Later, bowlers especially Yuzvendra Chahal and Harshal Patel rattled the Proteas batting line up. While Chahal scalped a three-fer, Harshal returned with a four wicket haul. With the win, Rishabh Pant and Co kept themselves alive in the five-match series, with the series currently 2-1 in favour of the Proteas. India must win the fourth T20I on Friday to have any chance of winning the series. Here’s how Twitterati reacted to India’s win:

Captain Rishabh Pant lauded the side’s efforts. “The execution was spot-on from the bowlers and the batters. We were 15 runs short, but we weren’t thinking about that. Bowlers did a fantastic job for us,” Pant said at the post-match presentation. Read all the Latest News , Trending News , Cricket News , Bollywood News , India News and Entertainment News here.
