The second match of the five-match Test series between India and England is taking place at the historic grounds of the Lord’s. On the third day of the Test, English fans were seen to be disgraceful with Indian player KL Rahul. In fact, England fans tried to kill Rahul by fielding a boundary line by throwing a champagne cork over which Team India captain Virat Kohli was very angry. Although Rahul did not hit the champagne cork and suffered no injury, the captain, who was upset by the incident, advised Rahul to throw back the cork and kill it. Former Australian cricketer Michael Bevan has also expressed his displeasure with the behavior of English fans. He also said a bottle of beer was thrown at him once.

Bevan shared a photo of KL Rahul’s behavior on his Instagram and said: ‘This kind of behavior is unacceptable to the crowd. This happens from time to time in international cricket. I once had a bottle full of beer and fish thrown at me. The incident occurred when Indian pacer Mohammed Shami was bowling to English captain Joe Root. The game was stopped for some time after the incident. Images of it have become quite viral on social networking sites. Virat immediately dived into the matter after the incident. He instructed Rahul to throw it to the audience. Virat’s implication was shared by cricket fans on social media.

England have been named for the third day of the Test match. Thanks to Joe Root’s unbeaten knock of 180, the English team scored 391 in reply to India’s 364 in the first innings. He was joined by English captain Johnny Bairstow for 121 for the fourth wicket, and in the first session, not a single England wicket fell. After the dismissal of Bairstow, Root put England in a strong position by partnering with Jose Butler and Moeen Ali. However, in the last period, India were able to get back into the game with the bowling of Ishant and Siraj.
