IND vs Eng Test: The Test played between India and England in Leeds may be remembered for the historic record, but this match has been recorded as a bitter defeat for the Indian team. Despite scoring 835 runs and 5 centuries, India lost by 5 wickets. This defeat has forced not only the fans, but also former cricketers to raise questions. Former wicketkeeper batsman of Team India Dinesh Karthik has now given a sharp reaction to this defeat and has asked the fans directly on social media.
Dinesh Karthik asked questions to fans
After the crushing defeat of India to England, Dinesh Karthik shared a video on Instagram and said that this defeat is not a normal thing. He said, “The Indian team scored 835 runs in this match. Five batsmen of the team’s top order scored a brilliant game and scored a century. Despite this, if we lost the Test, then something has gone somewhere wrong somewhere.”
Karthik further questioned the fans, did Bumrah suffer due to not getting help from other bowlers from the other end? Did our fielders disappoint due to poor fielding? Or the weak batting of the lower -order batsmen drowned India? Or the reason for India’s defeat is something else.
In this video of Instagram, Dinesh said further to his fans, “All of you comment and tell me why we lose? I will read the comments and then I will tell you what was the real reason for India’s defeat in my eyes.”
Have compared to dogs before
This is not the first time that Dinesh Karthik has taken a dig at the lower order of Team India’s batting. Even before this, he has made a sharp attack on the batting order. During the commentary with English commentators Ian Ward and Michael Attarton in the Leeds Test, Dinesh Karthik had a funny but controversial tan, connecting the team’s batting with a Dobberman dog. He had said, “The batting lineup of the Indian team is like a Dobberman dog, as Dobberman has a head in his body, a little meat in the middle and nothing below, the same is our batting, strong above, strong, a little bit in the middle and completely empty.”
He said that the Indian top order scored, but the lower order is completely flop. In both innings of this Test, Team India lost 7 wickets for 41 runs in the first innings and 6 wickets for 33 runs in the second innings. In such a situation, the weakness of the lower order came out openly, which became the main reason for defeat.
