It wasn't meant to start off like this for the hosts. India were in top form before their World T20 opener against New Zealand and despite never having beaten the Kiwis, were favourites for the tie. And after limiting New Zealand to a modest 126-7 in 20 overs, it looked pretty good for India. No, as it turned out (pun intended). New Zealand's spinners created havoc, using the spinning Nagpur track to bundle India out for a paltry 79. Indian Twitterati expectedly weren't happy. But then they didn't fail to see the funny side either. Here are some of the best tweets:

Can we already declare national mourning tomorrow so that I don't need to go to work?
