India’s commanding performance in the 2nd Test match against England at Edgbaston has taken an unexpected twist, not on the field, but online. With a mammoth lead of over 550 runs, many cricket fans across social media have been left baffled and impatient, questioning why the Indian team has not yet declared their innings to begin bowling at the struggling English lineup.

With time ticking away and weather uncertainties looming, fans are watching closely to see whether India’s tactics will pay off or backfire. One thing’s for sure: the internet is buzzing, and everyone has an opinion.
