The English cricket team have been demolished in their first innings of the 2nd test match against India.
While the Indian side stood strong with both batting and bowling, the English, on the other hand, seemed to fail at both.

Shoaib Bashir turned out to be a huge disappointment for England as he failed with both bat and ball.
Bashir was unable to stop runs with the ball let alone take wickets. He also failed to hold his ground with the bat, as England’s tail quickly crumbled to the Indian bowling attack.

This led to a huge backlash on social media, where Bashir was bashed and even called an asset for the Indian side.
Many Indians hilariously begged Mohammed Siraj to stop bowling bouncers to Bashir so that he wouldn’t get hurt due to a potential concussion!

With the English side in tatters, it will be interesting to see if they can finally make it up in India’s second innings by improving their bowling attack.
No matter the situation, – ko kaun roke!

Well……..that all ended quickly!!
Feel for Jamie Smith, great knock that, deserved a 200!
WTF does Bashir offer this team tho?
Can`t spin it & can barely hold a bat, let alone use it!
387-5 to 407 All Out puts India back well on top!
It`s defo a new ball pitch! #ENGvIND— Rob Dixon (@RobDix12) July 4, 2025
