India Vs England: Congress MP Shashi Tharoor's statement over Virat Kohli's men will leave you in shock!
Virat Kohli's men once again went down weakly on the fourth day of the second Test match at Lord’s, losing the match by an innings and 159 runs.
Mr. Shashi Tharoor expressed his belief over Virat Kohli's Indian cricket team.
England completed a crushing innings and taken a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. England's pacer James Anderson took 4/23 to finish with nine wickets and Stuart Broad scalped with 4/44 in the second Test match as India were bowled out for 130.
Congress MP Shashi Tharoor took to Twitter and wrote "One can't help a feeling of disbelief at the abject failure of our much-vaunted batsmen in England. There's shock, denial, grief, & finally a resigned sense of inevitability.
"But a corner of one's mind hopes that it's just a collective bad dream from which we'll soon wake up."

After a poor show at Edgbaston, Mr. Shashi Tharoor hoped that opener Shikhar Dhawan, who was not picked for the second Test might make a comeback. The Rishabh Pant may get to make his Test debut in Nottingham.
That’s exactly the kind of schoolboy fantasy we all need to indulge in! @SDhawan25 comes back &scores century before lunch? @imkuldeep18 bamboozles England on a turning track? Debut ton by @RishabPant777? @cheteshwar1 bats all 5 days? Let’s all dream on! #KeepHopeAlive https://t.co/IhS70hwyVE
