IND vs ENG: Twitter Erupts After India’s Narrow Loss at Lord’s, England Lead Series 2-1

Cricket fans around the world witnessed a heart-stopping finish at Lord’s as England edged past India by 22 runs in the third Test, taking a 2-1 lead in the five-match series. While the match itself was a classic, it was the aftermath on social media that truly captured the emotions of the moment. Twitter, in particular, erupted with reactions ranging from heartbreak and frustration to admiration and pride.
India’s valiant chase of 193 ended at 170 all out, despite a gritty unbeaten 61 from Ravindra Jadeja. His calm under pressure and fighting spirit earned massive praise online. Fans hailed him as the backbone of the team, with many calling his knock “one of the finest under pressure in recent memory.”
However, there was no shortage of criticism aimed at the top order, which crumbled under pressure yet again. Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal, and Rohit Sharma were among the names trending on Twitter—not for the right reasons. Several users pointed out India’s inability to stitch together partnerships, with one tweet summing it up: “Jadeja fought like a warrior, but he needed just one more hand at the other end.”
The narrow margin of defeat led to intense discussions over key turning points, especially Rishabh Pant’s run-out in the first innings and the middle-order collapse on Day 5. Some fans also questioned the tactics and shot selection, while others simply rued the fact that India let the game slip despite being in control on multiple occasions.
On the English side, supporters celebrated their team’s resilience, praising their bowlers for holding their nerve in crunch moments. Mark Wood and Chris Woakes received special mentions for their lethal spells on the final day.
As Twitter continues to buzz with opinions, memes, and stats, one thing is clear: this series has reignited the India-England Test rivalry in the most dramatic fashion. With two matches left, fans on both sides are bracing for more twists—and more viral moments.
