Virat Kohli and his team has faced the heat after a humiliating loss in the hands of England by an innings and 159 runs at Lords. Indian batters completely looked off-colour at the green top and they have to play out of their skin to draw the momentum to their side in the remaining three matches.

India lost the test without showing a fight- VVS Laxman
Caught in unfavourable conditions, not reading what the opposition threw saw India lose the Lord’s Test tamely without showing a fight. Hopefully lessons are learnt quickly and the rest of the batsman start applying themselves going forward
Going down without a fight is very disappointing- Virender Sehwag
Very poor from India. While we all want to stand by our team and support them when they don’t do well, going down without a fight is very disappointing to watch. Hope they have the confidence and mental strength to comeback from this.
We’ve got to pull up our socks- Sachin Tendulkar
An all-round performance by England. Excellent spells of fast bowling by @jimmy9(James Anderson) and @StuartBroad8(Stuart Broad), with a fine performance by @chriswoakes(Chris Woakes). We’ve got to pull up our socks and produce better cricket India. #ENGvIND
Words by former India spinner Bishan Singh Bedi
Dismal Indians at Lord’s..everyone remotely connected with Indian Cricket knows where the problem lies or stems from..but will not utter a word for want of strength of character & courage of conviction…which is even more depressing really than the batting debacle actually…!!
They are not learning from mistakes- Mohammad Kaif
India lasted 82 overs across 2 innings. They not learning from mistakes has been very disappointing to watch. Thoroughly outplayed in all departments in this one. Lack of fight has been the most disappointing aspect. This is really painful to watch. No batsman exudes any confidence.
Team India’s think tank has a lot to ponder over- Vinod Kambli
Our entire approach in this Test was defensive. More than anything, we allowed the English bowlers to come out on top by not playing our natural stroke playing game.The #TeamIndia think tank has a lot to ponder over in the coming days.
