Twitter reacts to Karun Nair's incredible 300, England fans go into a meltdown
In only his third Test, Karun Nair, out of nowhere, went on to score a brilliant triple-century taking the England bowlers apart and took India to the highest-ever Test total. With the visiting bowlers reduced to mere spectators, their fans took out their anger by trolling Alastair Cook and Co.
Poor England fans!
We are being hammered. Again. #IndvEng

Fifty in the first innings and a century in the next, what a match Liam Dawson is having!

Captain Cook more like Captain No-Look!
Alastair Cook not on the field. Not good signs for India. I can sense a wicket here. #INDvENG

It was very lonely here for the last 12 years 8 months.
Wish you the very best Karun.#INDvENG pic.twitter.com/qjB2afLvTy
England has dropped captains for smaller reasons!
Cook dropped Nair and then Root dropped Nair ! Captaincy can shift smoothly now !
