Rohit’s struggles in the Test series: Concerns for Team India

Despite a century in the previous game in Rajkot, Rohit has faced challenges in the ongoing Test series against England. With a total of 242 runs in seven innings at an average of 34.57, he has struggled to find consistent form. His early exit in Ranchi adds to the concerns, especially considering India’s inexperienced batting line-up in the absence of stalwarts like Virat Kohli and KL Rahul. Rohit’s role becomes pivotal in guiding the young and inexperienced batting order, making his return to form crucial for India’s success in the ongoing Test series against England.

The Barmy Army, known for their spirited support of the England cricket team, recently found themselves in the social media spotlight with a tweet that playfully involved Indian cricket superstar Virat Kohli??. However, as is often the case with such things, the tweet received ??a mixed bag of reactions from fans, with some expressing their disapproval and criticizing the group for their choice of target.

In the tweet, the Barmy Army commemorated Moeen Ali bowling his first over in the opening Test of Ashes 2023 aga??inst? Australia. It is worth noting that Moeen had come out of retirement to participate in the Ashes series this year. The tweet included a GIF of Moeen dismissing Kohli during the second Test of England’s tour of India in 2021 at the Chepauk Stadium. The caption accompanying the GIF humorously read, “Mo back with the red ball in hand.”

During that particular match, Moeen managed to dismiss Kohli for a five-ball duck. The Barmy Army’s tweet aimed to celebrate Moeen’s achievement, highlighting his previous success against one of the world’s best batter.

Howe??ver, the tweet stirred up a storm of mixe?d reactions among fans and followers on social media. Many fans took offence and criticized the Barmy Army for what they perceived as an attack on Virat. Some claimed the group of seeking attention by deliberately targeting the Indian superstar.

Here’s how fans reacted:

These guys are really shameless attention seekers, Kohli lives rent free in their minds. I remember how they mocked Kohli dur?ing the te?st vs Eng last year.

Australian media is way better and acts professional. Only reason to support them this ashes //t.co/8TRLAirHwk

It is noteworthy that Moeen made a comeback from retirement due to an injury that sidelined England’s main spinner, Jack Leach. Making an immediate impact, Moeen smashed 18 runs off 17 balls in England’s first innings and then claimed two wickets for 129 in 29 overs.

Although England had the upper hand for a significant portion of the day, Australia staged a remarkable resurgence, thanks to an unbeaten partnership of 91 runs for the sixth wicket between Usman Khawaja and Alex Carey. The duo steered Australia to stumps, trailing England by a mere 82 runs, with the scoreboard reading 311/5 at the end of Day?? 2.

It is worth mentioning that Smith is presently in England, preparing for the upcoming World Test Championship (WTC) final against India on June 7, followed by the highly?? anticipated five-match Ashes series against England, co??mmencing on June 16.

Smith made a remarkable comeback to Test cricket after serving a one-year ban due to his involvement in the ball-tampering scandal during the South Africa series in 2018. Displaying his exceptional skills, the right-handed batsman marke?d his return with a century in the first Ashes Test ??against England at Birmingham.

Smith’s extraordinary tally of 774 runs against England in the 2019 Ashes series, with an impressive average of 110.54, was hailed as the greatest batting performance ever witnessed in a series. His historic achievements throughout the 2019 Ashes series culminated in the finest-ever display of batting in the history of the sport. With just one failure in seven innings, Smith consistently scored crucial runs that aided Australia in securing a series draw. Notably, he delivered exceptional performances in both innings of two Tests, while also compiling excellent half-centuries in the remaining two Tests.

Under the fresh leadership of captain Ben Stokes and coach Brendon McCullum, England scripted a historic win when they successfully chased down the massive 378-run target against India in the rescheduled fifth Test at Edgbaston in Birmingham. The hosts exhibited an attacking brand of cricket and completed the task on the final day, with former skipper Joe Root and explosive batter Jonny Bairstow smashing unbeaten centuries to help ??England level the series 2-2.

Notably, the one-off Test match was part of the five-match series that was halted due to COVID-19 in 2021. The tourists left England after the 4th Test due to COVID-19 cases in their camp. Though India ended up losing the fifth Test, it was still a big achievement as they didn’t lose the series.

In the previous tours of England, the Indian team had struggled badly. In 2011, the MS Dhoni-led side was whitewashed in the four-match series. Then, in 2014, England defeated India by 3-1 under the captaincy of Alastair Cook. In 2018, Joe Root’s England overpowered Virat Kohli-led India 4-1.

England supporters were indeed happy as their team managed to save the series. The last time England lost the home Test leg against India was back in 2007 when Rahul Dravid was the captain of the Indian team. No wonder both English players and their fans were rejoicing after the victory in the ?Edgbaston Test.

However, while celebrating the win, Barmy Army โ€?the England cricket team’s supporter’s club โ€?took to Twitter to post the false series result. Barmy Army claimed that the Three Lions have won the series 1-0.

The tweet of Barmy Army didn’t go down well as several fans lambasted them for going a bit too far while making a joke. Even former India spinner Amit Mishra looked unhappy as he blasted Barmy Army for posting a false result. Mishra wrote: “Haash! British and their habit of distorting history for their own advantage.”
