Rahul Dravid is facing the wrath of the Indian fans after the team’s ordinary display on Day 1 of the ICC World Test Championship Final against Australia at the Oval.
Rohit Sharma won the toss and elected to bowl first in overcast conditions, a decision backed by all the leading cricket experts. However, the bowlers couldn’t sustain after the first session as Australia started dictating terms with the help of Travis Head and Steve Smith.
Mohammed Siraj got rid of Usman Khawaja in the first session, and when David Warner was dismissed, the fans thought India would dominate the contest.
Mohammed Shami dismissed Marnus Labuchangne, and the players were on Cloud 9, thinking of wrapping up the innings.
However, it was short-lived, as it was the end of the fall of wickets. Travis accumulated an unbeaten 146, while Smith smashed 95 not out.
The supporters of the sub-continent team started remembering Ravi Shastri, the former head coach and lashed out at Dravid. Here are some of the reactions.
India haven’t won an ICC title for the last 10 years, and it seems they would end on a losing note in the ongoing game as well.
