British Anchor Piers Morgan has stated that the inclusion of Jofra Archer in the English team for the Lord's Test will lead to wiping off smiles from the faces of Indian fans. Morgan's post on X came in response to some Indian fans mocking him for his earlier post praising Bazball after Jamie Smith and Harry Brook's counter-attacking knocks in a match which was clearly dominated by India.
The Shubman Gill led side defeated the hosts comperehensively in Edgbaston as the Indian skipper scored 430 runs in the match while pacers Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep took the English batting to the task with 7 and 10 wicket hauls respectively.
The result clearly agitated many English supporters including Morgan who stated that the inclusion of Archer in the next match in London would lead to souring of these celebrations by the Indian fans.
“See you at Lord’s - where I suspect @JofraArcher will wipe all those smug grins off your faces.” Morgan posted on X.
Notably, the five match Test series is currently levelled 1-1 and the Test match in London is sure to be a tie breaker. Indian team will also have memories of the laIndian fans respond to Morgan's comments:st time when they played at Lords and showed real grit and determination to win the match. Virat Kohli's ‘Give them hell’ speech still goes viral from time to time as Indian fans reminice the special victory that their team had on their last tour at the home of cricket.
Indian fans respond to Morgan's comments:
“It took Kohli and Rohit retiring, Bumrah getting a wicket of a no ball and our fielders dropping 6 catches for you to win the 1st Test. So no, I don't think Jofra Archer is going to be wiping the grin of our faces. They're here to stay.” wrote a user on X.
Another Indian fan was quick to remind Morgan that it wasn't just Archer who could be back for the Lords Test but also Indian pace spearhead Jasrpit Bumrah.
“Off course, why would you like our faces! The contempt is dripping from your comment itself. But anyway, see you at Lords. @Jaspritbumrah93 says hi” wrote the user.
“I’ll be amazed if he manages to go all day without pulling off. Hardly played any red ball game over last few years and now we getting India like temperatures in the UK.” added yet another user.
