Shubman Gill-led India are currently in England, featuring in the first Test match of the Tendulkar-Anderson Trophy taking place at the Yorkshire Cricket Ground in Leeds, England. India's tailenders Shardul Thakur, Jasprit Bumrah, Mohammed Siraj, and Prasidh Krishna managed to add five runs to India’s total in the first innings of the first Test, and the pacer quartet added four runs in the second innings on Monday (June 23).

After India's tailenders failed to put up a fight with the bat for the second time in the first Test, fans on X slammed Indian batting.

Before the start of the fifth day's play at Headingley, former India wicketkeeper batter Dinesh Karthik read out a tweet in which India’s batting was compared with a Dobermann dog.
