Mohammad Kaif slams Indian team for 'lack of fight' in Lord's Test

London, Aug 13 (IBNS): Former Indian cricketer Mohammad Kaif slammed Virat Kohli-led national team for their "lack of fight" in Lord's Test match, which was won comprehensively by England by an innings and 159 runs.

Kaif took to social media to hit out at the Indian cricketers for their unimpressive performance on field.

In an early tweet after India's defeat, he said: "Lack of fight has been the most disappointing aspect. This is really painful to watch. No batsman exudes any confidence."

The former right-handed batsman even accused the cricketers of not learning from past mistakes.

Kaif further tweeted, "India lasted 82 overs across 2 innings. They not learning from mistakes has been very disappointing to watch. Thoroughly outplayed in all departments in this one."

In the second Test, India survived for only 82 overs in two innings, scoring 107 and 130 respectively.

In the first Test, India had a poor show with bat expect Kohli, who went on to score 200 runs in two innings including a ton. India eventually lost the Birmingham Test by 31 runs.

India's poor form in foreign soil is continuing as they had lost the Test series against South Africa 1-2 earlier this year.

Also India lost their One Day International (ODI) series against England 1-2, prior to the ongoing five-match Test series.
