Indian cricket fans thrive on pointing fingers and being excessively critical. They need someone to lash out at some target after each loss of their team. India’s current atrocious show in England where they have been thumped in the first two Tests by the home side has greatly annoyed the average Indian cricket fan. And this time the target of their vexation seems to be the head coach, Ravi Shastri.
Pictures are circulating on social media, mocking Shastri’s paunch and taking digs at him for being an inept coach. Demands are already being made to sack Shastri and bring back Anil Kumble.
