India TV News  

Former England captain Nasser Hussain was baffled to see Mahendra Singh Dhoni and Kedar Jadhav's approach during India's chase of 338 against England at Edgbaston and his once upon a time counterpart Sourav Ganguly too had no words to defend what was happening at the middle. India ended up losing by 31 runs to England in Birmingham -- their first defeat in this year's World Cup but the manner of it has left half the cricket fraternity shocked. Ganguly too seemed surprised by India's approach and said that having 5 wickets in hand and still ending up playijng dots was strange. Ganguly, who was doing the same along with the former England captain was equally shocked at the approach of Dhoni and Jadhav towards the fag end of the innings.
