Rohit Sharma, who is out of the Indian Test team, urged the fans to support their team in tough times. The tweet drew mixed reactions from the netizens on the micro-blogging site; however, he received support from unexpected quarters, i.e. from Amitabh Bachchan. The Bollywood superstar sounded equally supportive on his Twitter account.

The ODI-regular, Rohit, wrote a supportive message on his Twitter account telling fans that this was the team which got us to the number 1 spot in Test cricket. Rohit wrote, “Let’s not forget these are the players who got India to the number 1 ranking. How about being little supportive when the going gets tough. This is our team.”

As per the latest ICC Rankings, the Indian team is currently ranked number 1 in the Test team rankings. After India losing the first Test match at Edgbaston by 31 runs, it seemed like India would make amends in the second Test match.

The performances in the first innings of the Lord’s Test weren’t good signs for team India either. James Anderson-led bowling attack reduced India to 107 runs in the first inning, in only 35 overs. The consistent rains throughout the day made the day worse for the Indian team.

Will the Indian team wrest the control back or will England continue to dominate? It will be an exciting watch on Day 3 of the Lord’s Test match. Catch all the live updates about India vs England, 2nd Test 2018, here!
