Twitter reacts to yet another South African choke.
Updated : Sep 30, 2017, 04:45 AM IST
South Africa had come into the World T20 as one of the favourites but after three games it seems that the same old story is going to repeat itself. Another loss, another disappointment, another choke. After scoring a paltry 122 in 20 overs, the Proteas tried their best to eke out a win against the West Indians, they even dragged the game to the last over but Carlos Brathwaite's six in the first ball of the final over dashed their hopes. The word 'chokers' trended like crazy on twitter, here are some of the best tweets about the game.

1)chokers can choke even in super 10..
2)miracle can only be done by Team India..
Most of us had India, South Africa and Australia making the semi-final before the tournament began. Looks like only one of them can!

Most over-used term in SA: chokers. Google what it means before you use it, morons.

Being a Protea cricket supporter should come with a health warning! #SAvsWI

The biggest development of this #WT20 is the realisation that South Africa can not only choke in knockouts but also in group matches.

South Africa must be wishing for some form of surrogacy in ICC tournaments #WT20 #SAvsWI #WIvsSA

Someone said it right - Look into yourself before commenting on others. #SAvsWI https://t.co/DaZJ2CNX0e

If Karan Johar makes a film on the South African cricket team he should call it Choke Choke Hota Hai. #SAvsWI

Dear South Africa,

It's ok, you are not unlucky.
It's just that you don't have M.S. Dhoni for situations like this. #SAvsWI
For #Ban players watching, Braithwaite taking a single with 2 to win off 4 was a great lesson;u don't always have to win with a 6. #WT20
— Mohammad Kaif (@KaifSays) March 25, 2016
Only India can do that in last over because we have the best captain in this world! #SAvsWI
