Twitter lashes out at coach Ravi Shastri as Kohli's India lose England Test series
Joe Root-led England won the fourth Test in Southampton by 60 runs to clinch the 5-match Test series.
Southampton: While Virat Kohli’s batting in the Test series against England has been a standout point, India’s failure to win the series against Joe Root and co. has invited criticism against Kohli, the captain and head coach Ravi Shastri.
While there were reports the unhappiness in the BCCI ranks following India’s Lord’s debacle, where England outplayed India to win the Test by an innings, India’s win at the Trent Bridge in the third Test had raised hopes of India’s stunning comeback in the series. However, India’s defeat in Southampton has invited criticism against Shastri.
Following India’s series defeat at the Ageas Bowl, the Indian cricket team fans lashed out at Shastri and urged BCCI to remove him from the position of India’s head coach.
Make 11 clones of Virat Kohli and make a team of that. Use Ravi Shastri to fetch drinks. Everyone else can come home and prepare for next season of IPL.

Someone please ask Ravi shastri what his contribution is to this Indian team other than being an overconfident dooshbag in his media appearances.India made some huge tactical errors in this game. Not playing sweep against Moeen. Ashwin bowling far quicker than he should have.

4 changes for the 5th test : Prithvi Shaw : KL Rahul, Jadeja : Ashwin, Umesh Yadav : Hardik Pandya and Karun Nair : Dhawan. Opening by Prithvi Shaw and Pujara. Another important change - sack Ravi Shastri. Get back Kirsten or Kumble , who gave us results. Let Virat be accountable

Mine is :
" Our team doesn't care about pitches and conditions" ~~ Ravi shastri.
Head coach Ravi Shastri said during innings break that anything under 270, ind would be pretty happy to chase.. Now it seems target 70 is pretty big ask for them.. Where is our mr head coach?sometimes the way he speaks with attitude that ind already won the match #ENGvIND
