Twitter Reactions: Twitter trolls Bhuvneshwar Kumar for his worst bowling show: South Africa v India 5^th ODI was going to determine the winner of the 5-match ODI series since both the teams were at levels 2-2. South Africa won the toss and decided to bat first on the Wankhede pitch that looked the best batting surface we have seen in the series thus far. The Indian bowlers disappointed heavily in the most important match, especially Bhuvneshwar Kumar who gave away more than hundred runs (106) in his quota of 10 overs.

Right from the start South African opener Quinton de Kock relished the short ball strategy that India continued, both Mohit Sharma and Kumar were taken to the cleaners as he gave South Africa a flying start. Though the spinner took over soon, Dhoni brought his pacers back during the 2^nd powerplay and for the slog overs. Faf du Plessis and AB de Villiers loved the pace and the lengths with which both the Indian seamers were bowling.

Kumar though got the consolation wicket of AB, but he ended up bowling the 2^nd worst bowling spell by an Indian in ODI cricket. His bowling economy was 10.60 runs per over and despite the international experience he possesses looked clueless and could never figure out the line and the length he should bowl on the pitch that suited the batsmen more.

Twitter does not forgive you for anything like that and Bhuvneshwar Kumar was trolled heavily for his listless bowling show today, here are the best Tweets.

Bhuvneshwar Kumar is bowling at 140+. Either he has eaten beef or the speed gun has eaten beef.

Congrats Bhuvi on becoming the first Indian bowler to score a century in an ODI.

Only positive for India is that Bhuvi & Mohit Sharma have replaced the legendary Indian bowling pair of Balaji & Sreesanth.
