Former India skipper Sourav Ganguly yesterday lashed out at head coach Ravi Shastri two days after India lost the fourth Test at Southampton by 60 runs and surrender to the Pataudi Trophy 1-3 against England. Virat Kohli & Co, who have managed to win just one Test [at Nottingham] in the four Tests so far, had a golden chance to level the five-match series 2-2 at The Rose Bowl after being set a 245-run target.

However, India collapsed dramatically from 123-4 to 184 all out despite skipper Kohli and his deputy Ajinkya Rahane scoring half centuries. Ganguly questioned the roles of Shastri and assistant coach Sanjay Bangar, who is primarily in charge of the batters. "If Ravi Shastri has been given the responsibility of the team along with Virat Kohli, then he [Shastri] has to improve the team," Ganguly was quoted as saying by India TV channel.
