India’s loss to Australia in the 2015 World Cup semi-final disheartened a billion fans world over. Virat Kohli’s dismal performance, Anushka Sharma’s presence at the SCG and captain MS Dhoni’s lackluster leadership was thrashed across social media platforms.

However, what came as a surprise to many was one of India’s leading news channels – Times Now’s ‘shameful’ mockery of our Men in Blue. Editor-in-chief Arnab Goswami and team did not take the 95-run loss gracefully and described the setback as ‘an abject surrender’.

Agreed that India did not put up their best foot forward against the four-time world champions; but, does the team really deserve news tickers that read:

This over-the-top insult against our Men In Blue has set Twitter on fire. Here’s a look at what ‘the nation’ has to say ‘today’.
