Following Team India’s Lord’s defeat in the second Test match, Sachin Tendulkar advised Virat Kohli & Co to pull up their socks and produce better cricket to keep themselves alive in the series. India is trailing the five-match series by 2-0.
‘The God of Cricket’ took to his official Twitter handle to congratulate the English bowlers and tell Team India that they were not up to the mark.
He tweeted:
An all-round performance by England. Excellent spells of fast bowling by @jimmy9 and @StuartBroad8, with a fine performance by @chriswoakes. We’ve got to pull up our socks and produce better cricket India. #ENGvIND
