India's 1-run loss to West Indies: Twitter world, especially KING VIRU go crazy

India needed just eight runs from the final over but could only manager six.

New Delhi: First ever International T20 encounter in the United States featuring Indian and West Indies could not have ended in a more dramatic style.

Two brilliant centuries with nearly 500 runs being scored - well – what else could the cricket fans had asked for.

India needed just eight runs from the final over and they should have have won the match with set batsmen Rahul and captain Mahendra Singh Dhoni in full flow.

India needed two runs from the final ball to win the match but Dhoni failed to get those runs as he was caught by Marlon Samuels, slicing a slower delivery off Dwayne Bravo to the heartbreak of the large number of Indian supporters at the stands. India ended the run chase at 244 for 4 from 20 overs.

To this enthralling showdown, this is how the world of twitter and especially Virender Sehwag responded.
