India were handed an innings and 159-run defeat in the second Test against England after another batting failure.
Stuart Broad and James Anderson picked up four wickets apiece to blow away an Indian batting effort which showed little resistance in trying conditions at Lord’s.
The loss meant India now trail 0-2 in the five-Test series.
Twitter were left fuming by the events that enfolded at the home of cricket. Most were critical of India’s preparation for the tour and the role of coach Ravi Shastri in the team’s poor display.
The confidence of this team has taken a big hit. Now everyone is circumspect..whom do you drop??

They were not prepared. Time Ravi Shastri answers a few tough questions. #INDvENG
If Anyone Is Sacked From This Indian Team, It Must Begin With Coach Ravi Shastri. We Miss You Anil Kumble. #INDvsENG #INDvENG #ENGvIND

Ravi Shastri is Team India's cheerleader. He gets paid to cheer up Virat Kohli. Anil Kumble did not have this skill. All he has is 619 test wickets .

After Sidhu, Imran Khan should invite Shastri for his swearing in. #EngvInd

Dear pandits and tantriks (real ones not TV variety): Can you ensure rains today and tomorrow at Lord's ? Team India needs you to help it out of the mess M/S Vinod Rai & Ravi Shastri have got them into. Sending ill-prepared team to face England on such pitches!!!

worst test team I feel sorry for Indian spectators paying all that money to see their team performing so badly. Never seen such a bad team from India before. Time to get rid of Ravi Shastri
