Team India haven't been at their best when it comes to taking a call on Decision Review System (DRS). They ended up wasting two reviews during England's first innings in the ongoing second Test at Lord's.

Having already lost a review in the 21st over, India's fast bowler Mohammed Siraj convinced skipper Virat Kohli to go for another one in the 23rd over after he believed Joe Root has survived a close LBW appeal. However, Kohli wasn't sure about it and neither was India's wicket-keeper Rishabh Pant.

Siraj had a discussion with Kohli before the India captain went for the DRS while laughing. Pant was seen trying to hold his hands and stopping him from asking for a review.

It turned out to be another bad review by India as the ball was missing the leg stump once again. Twitterati reacted to another terrible review by India and this time even after Pant trying to stop Kohli from taking it. 

Root remained not out on 48 runs at the close of play on Day 2 as England scored 119/3 in reply to India's 364 runs in the first innings.

Here are the reactions of fans to the DRS by Kohli:
