England vs India 2018: Twitter Trolls KL Rahul On His Poor Show

The miseries of Indian cricket team increased further as James Anderson removed both the openers inside the eight overs of the inning. James Anderson exposed the technique of Indian batters as he completed his 550 Test wickets. KL Rahul scored a mere 11 runs after being promoted in the order.
Murli Vijay was his 100th victim at Lord’s while as he trapped Rahul soon after that.

India dropped Shikhar Dhawan earlier on to manage the place for Chetheshwar Pujara. Shikhar Dhawan did not get amole from his bat as he displayed a disappointment show in the Edgbaston Test.

KL Rahul who was asked to open alongside Murli Vijay was looking speechless before the swinging deliveries. He had no answers to them and had done nothing after the ton in T20 series. In the last Test match, Rahul batted at number three position and could only amass 13 runs in the game.

India found itself in hot waters

After perishing at a low total of 107 in the first inning, Indian bowlers provide an early chance to make a comeback. However, Jonny Bairstow alongside Jos Buttler literary took the match out of India. Bairstow missed his well-deserved century by just eight runs.

Buttler fell on 24, and Chris Woakes joined the crease after him. Woakes scored his maiden unbeaten ton in Test cricket.

England announced declaration after reaching the total of 396 for the loss of seven wickets. Chris Woakes was the highest scorer from England while staying unbeaten on 137.

Until the second inning procession, India was facing a deficit of 289 runs. India got a similar start to that of the first innings as James Anderson, and Stuart Broad destroyed the top order of India.

Anderson and Broad shared two-two wickets each as India is playing on 54 for the loss of four wickets. India is still trailing by a massive margin of 235.
