ENG vs IND | Twitter in splits as Ben Stokes ends up triggering raucous Indian fans at Lordās
Players egging on fans to raise decibel levels in live sport is nothing common but England captain Ben Stokes regretted his actions during the Lordās Test against India. As he was trying to gather support from teammates and the home crowd, the Indian fans responded to his calls with loud cheers.

The pair added 17 runs in 36 balls as they kept the England quicks at bay, not allowing them further inroads. Pacer Brydon Carse sent in a rising delivery targeted at the southpaw, which he innocuously gloved.
As the ball fell short of first slip, England skipper Ben Stokes, who was fielding in close cordon, tried to egg on his teammates and the home crowd to raise the noise levels. But the countless Indian fans, who turned up to support their side at the iconic venue, responded swiftly to Stokesā call.
There was a sudden rise in the decibel levels with fans shouting āIndia, Indiaā¦..ā to the shock of the England captain. Twitter was in splits as Ben Stokes ended in an embarrassing position, wrongly triggering the Indian fans.
INDIA... INDIA...
