Hosts England dominated India in the third Test at Leeds to level the five-match series 1-1. India were bowled out for 78 in the first innings and England made sure Virat Kohli and co. don’t get a chance to get back into the game as they won the match by an innings and 76 runs.

The former India cricketer Vinod Kambli was extremely disappointed with Team India’s performance and took to Twitter to share his opinion on what changes he would make for the fourth Test in Oval, if he was the captain.

"Receiving Test cap from Dhoni my best moment in Indian cricket," says Stuart Binny

#INDvENG Its time to rest Ajinkya and get @surya_14kumar instead of playing four fast bowlers get in ashwin and if i was the captain I will talk to every individual players regarding the middle order batsmen and boost their confidence,” Kambli wrote.

After seeing this tweet, Indian cricket team fans were not impressed with Kambli’s suggestions and immediately started trolling the Mumbai-based cricketer.

Have a look at some replies to Vinod Kambli’s Tweet:

Mumbai lobby. This is so shameful!

"India" Has lost. Can we keep state bias aside?? Sky deserves to be in the fray but mayank, vihari are ahead in pecking order. And this is coming from a guy who wants sky at 4 in wc.

Be neutral. India first. Mumbai later. Mr kambli.

Rahane has been our best test batsman since the past 2 yrs. You can't simply drop a legend bcuz of one failure.
I would rather drop Rohit/ Pujara.
Rahane is important for the middle order.

Too early to bring surya. Ashwin will come but we still need four pacers to attack, and what if the captain who's gonna boost middle order's confidence is one of them who requires boost himself.
