England commentator David Lloyd trolled on Twitter over coach' dig at Virat Kohli
North Sound: India defeated West Indies by 93 runs at Antigua on Friday to extend their lead to 2-0. It was an average score by India as they finished with 251 -4 in 50 overs, but managed to bowl out West Indies for 158, courtesy the bowlers.
Earlier in the match, Ajinkya Rahane continued his brilliant form with a knock of 72, whereas Mahendra Singh Dhoni showcased a fine performance with an unbeaten 78.
However, it was not Virat Kohli’s day as he got out on 11 as the Windies captain Jason Holder got his wicket.
Unhappy with his innings, former England all-rounder-turned commentator David Lloyd took to Twitter to troll Virat Kohli and blame it on the lack of a coach in the Indian team.
Ind 2 down v WI ...Kohli out ...Coach fault

Anil Kumble had resigned as Team India’s coach on June 20 after a reported rift with Virat Kohli. The Indian team is currently looking for a new coach.
The Twitteratti, however, did not take this lightly, and were furious on what David Lloyd had commented.
Keep bowling that line, Bumble. You'll get a few today.

As one of them hit back on him, blaming England’s recent performance, another user mocked him by suggesting to stand for the head coach position.
England bottling in big games... Nationality fault

You probably had this tweet saved in your drafts. Made runs in the first two games so had to wait until he fails. Bit immature.

Virat Kohli and co will take on the Caribbean side in the fourth ODI here on Sunday.
