CRICKET
India lost two reviews in two successive overs and it was by the same bowler for the same batsman.
Deja Vu! When India lost a review due to Mohammed Siraj. It happened in the first Test, it continued in the second Test. On Day 2 of the Lord's Test in London, India was seen losing two reviews in two successive overs and it was by the same bowler for the same batsman.
Siraj twice thought that he had Joe Root lbw, however, it ended with Virat Kohli and Co. losing two reviews. On-field umpire Michael Gough was proved right on both occasions and India are left with just a review.
Soon after the unsuccessful reviews were made, it caused much chatter on social media. Former India cricketer Wasim Jaffer also came up with a new definition for DRS.
DRS: Don't Review Siraj #ENGvIND

Not just that, wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant had appeared to be stopping Virat Kohli from taking a review, but it was too late.
It is RCB blood , they give blood and sweat for RCB #Siraj.

DRS - Dhoni Review System - 99% right ..
SRD ( reverse of DRS) - Siraj Review Decision - Hence 99% wrong..
Kohli should Understand this.#INDvENG #ENGvIND #siraj #review #testcricket #umpire @MichaelVaughan @WasimJaffer14 @imVkohli @virendersehwag
That’s like 5 reviews lost off Siraj’s bowling in the last two games, at least

As for the clash, England's fast bowlers got India all-out for 364 at Lord's Cricket Ground on Day 2 of the second Test. India lost their final eight wickets for just 97 runs.
Rohit Sharma, KL Rahul, and cameos from Virat Kohli, Pant, and Jadeja helped post the total for India. No one else contributed much as the rest got out in single digits.
