Twitter Reaction: India experience batting collapse at Oval

India commenced the Day 2 with Karun Nair and Washington Sundar at the crease. But Nair stay was halted as Josh Tongue picked his wicket. Soon after Washington Sundar departed and the English bowlers took no time to dismiss the tailenders.

India ended their innings with just 224 runs on the board. Nair remained the highest scorer for India with 57 runs followed by Sai Sudharsan’s gritty 38 runs off 108 balls. One glaring aspect of the India’s batting collapse was that the tailenders accounted to zero runs.

As India’s batting succumbed to English attack within 70 overs, twitter was abuzz with its own takes and netizens came up with their narrative after watching the Indian batting wrap up inside the first few overs of the first session.

Here’s how twitter reacted to India’s batting:

Had said to @ABsay_ek yesterday, with @Akshay01shukla that England will come at a good batting rate on this surface, they will take their chances, that India didn't dare to stay full....

The England bowlers weren't letting us complete even 40 runs and there is our bowlers who is leaking runs, even in this pitch they aren't able to take wickets. Now team India isn't having either a batting depth nor a bowling depth#INDvsENG

another demonstration of attackmaxxing being the most optimal method of batting in hostile conditions.

that's why I wanted these tracks in all games.

slow belters bring accumulators in the game and india has very high quality accumulators.
