IND vs SA: Herschelle Gibbs Expertly Shuts Down Twitter Troll With Epic Reply

Former South Africa batsman Herschelle Gibbs shut down a user on Twitter who tried to troll him for questioning the selection of Theunis de Bruyn and Temba Bavuma in the Test team following their poor performances in the 1st Test in the India vs South Africa series. Both de Bruyn and Bavuma failed with the bat as India won the opening Test by 203 runs, taking a 1-0 lead in the three-match series. Theunis de Bruyn scored 4 and 10 while Bavuma made 18 runs and a duck in the match in Visakhapatnam.

Herchelle Gibbs took to Twitter during South Africa's second innings to say that the "real question" was the selection of the two batsmen in the team.

Question is how long are they gonna persist with de bruyn and bavuma #INDvSA #sscricket

Herchelle Gibbs showed that he wasn't just destructive with the bat as he shot back a witty reply. "Sorry I got 200 and 100 after 15 tests and you?" Gibbs tweeted.
