IND vs ENG: KL Rahul slammed for another poor performance

Meanwhile, India lost an early wicket in the form of KL Rahul, who has been dismissed by Chris Woakes for 5 off 5 balls. Netizens are trolling Rahul for only scoring fifties against relatively weaker sides in the competition and not doing anything when it comes to playing against big teams in crunch situations. Here’s a compilation of tweets trolling India opener KL Rahul. 

Meanwhile, Rohit Sharma has also been dismissed after scoring with a strike rate of below 100. He hit 27 off 28 balls before being removed by Chris Jordan. Cricket fans weren’t happy after yet another failure by India’s opening pair in a crucial match.

Virat Kohli and Suryakumar Yadav stabilised the Indian innings for some time before SKY departed after scoring 14 off 10 balls. India are 88-3 in 13.4 overs at the time of writing this copy.
