Black day for indian cricket honestly never thought gambhir and co will stoop down to this level in a bilateral match and the thing refree was also indian makes it more embarassing.🙏

[@Anonymousman-p3y]

If in some big match aus or english players resort to such cheap tactics then we will have no right to cry. HORRIBLE!!

[@ayushbatabyal]

Um , it's the match referees call who replaces 😂 India can just suggest a name which was Rana , referees call to decline it

[@raghuagarwal948]

India were desperate if England won and won again in Mumbai it will be a 3 in row series loss across formats

[@wedd4290]

No media channel talking about match referee javagal srinath 😅

[@wedd4290]

That too in a pan parag bilateral 😂 absolutely shameless behaviour

[@Momin1-x3z]

Ya team won on boundary count after taking extra 5 run talking about morality 😂😂😂

[@AnkitRaj-0]

That was ICC rule ​@@Momin1-x3z

[@raghuagarwal948]

Again you faltered in favour of bcci . There is no debate or doubt that India “cheated” not exploited the loop holes . Why are you not telling who the match referee was …. Our own desi Javagal Srinath

[@Mr_Mohit_Shukla]

They are right. It was shamelessness from Indian contingent and Javagal Srinath. Isse behtar toh honestly khel ke harna hi hota

[@VivaChad-ci8dl]

Was Dube really injured??? That itself wasn't fair ...right!!!!??

[@sukumarp1391]

It's asking for too much, but the ideal way is for spectators to avoid seeing and thus encouraging cheating and also the broadcasters to avoid the team that idolises certain past masters who cling on to the team even if they deserve to be left behind. It would be a extremely wrong message to pass to the future cricketers and spectators to win at any cost rather than to learn to fight and win or lose honourably

[@methaneman4045]

Excellent critique

[@sukumarp1391]

India should not have degraded themselves so much, there is no joy in seeing india win this way. Of late, the antics of siraj & kohli in the field and such desperate actions on the part of the team management and even sadly the referees of indian background are extremely embarrassing to digest.Dont think that the cricket team management of the earlier eras would have resorted to such activities.

[@dsconverse]

Kevin Pietersen critical of match refree? Is india playing with team who don't take advantage?

[@brajkishore3191]

Wrong decision

[@hinotoawomi505]

Honestly what we fans can do when our team are desperate to win the series by crooked. I feel for England, they have to loose focus in the midst of game

[@jayaprakash-oi4qd]

in gambhir era even for pan parag series to win we have to do this level of exploitation..!!! 😂😂😂

[@danielm173]

You can’t sub out a batting allrounder for an express pacer who just bowled 150+ kmph, use common sense, that’s what is meant by like for like

[@gauravbestintheworld]

Shivam came into the team in the place of Washington sundor. So Shivam might have bowled 4 overs. Harshit Rana can bat very well. So it was fair.

[@AmitKumar-kv4vg]

😂😂😂😂😂😂😂 gud joke 80 pr 5 out hone ke baad harshit 53 ki inning kheli leta? 😂😂😂😂😂 Agar icc event mai india ke sath esa hota ya hoga tb b tu yahi kahega fair

[@Storm10-xv2bv]

@@AmitKumar-kv4vgharshit Rana can bat. lol then why isn’t he never asked to play in 3rd or 4 th spot. And dube has never bowled or rarely bowled for like 2-3 years. Pathetic Indian fans ..

[@anandidantas4382]

Yup. Very low and cheap.

[@nikrolls]

I think Gambhir and co getting desperate for a series win after multiple losses

[@ShreyasYT7]

And it could turn viewership away

[@crickdrown31]

And by boundary count England wins 2019 wc it make sense na then why eng can't question that time and don't talk about sense

[@oddahi7886]

Everyone can use loophole. And it’s England who lost by themselves Phil Salt player shit whole series and Archer is shit bowler

[@northern_lights21]

How do they know that Dube would not have taken 4 wickets? Leave alone 3. He is a bowler, and Surya would have let him bowl 3 overs at the least. The difference here is that England does these things very gently, whereas India is too brash with its doings and has left a bad taste. Yes, a loophole was utilized, but there is no like for like player anywhere. It is more likely for what that session demands, and therefore, it should be "likely" and not "like for like." The law needs to change!

[@HighwayContracting]

Now they are looking for excuses 😅 Who is this guy to say clearcut, what loophole and if it was England 😮

[@raghuagarwal948]
