Rohit Sharma was given out by the 3rd umpire after West Indies took the review, but the replays seemed inconclusive.

Rohit Sharma was dismissed early in the innings for 18 in India's innings against West Indies. The on-field umpire adjudged him not out, but the Windies went upstairs and the decision was eventually overturned.

The fans were justifiably unhappy with the third umpire's decision, and took to Twitter to voice their criticism.

Here are some of the tweets:
