SHUBMAN GILL leadership came under fire from former Captain of England Nasser Hussain after the disastrous performance of India on the 3rd day of the fourth test in Manchester on Friday, July 25.
Indian captain received hard criticism from Hussain, which challenged some tactical mistakes made during the first English shifts, which saw a lot of hosts at 544/7 stumps.
One of the main disputes was the handling of the Indian first -class fast champion Jasprit Bumrah. Hussain emphasized how England Captain Ben Stokes effectively used another reflection available from the end of Brian Statham, but expressed a surprise that India had not used Bumrah from the same end.
“Ben Stokes also got the five-to-end Brian Statham, where there is another reflection, but Jasprit Bumrah did most of his bowling at the end of Sir Jimmy Anderson,” Hussain wrote in his Daily Mail column.
Don’t trust Sundaru
Another key criticism focused about Indian insufficient use of Washington Sundar, which was included in the side as versatile. Sundar, who entered the tour with confidence, had an immediate impact by dismissing Ollie Pte and Harry Brook in quick succession.
“Then, when the sun came out after tea on the second day and the playground was completely flattered, completely.” overlooked bowling Washington Sundar, It does not seem to him up to 69 years when England was 305 for two, ”Hussain said.
“It was stunning. It could be said that he was full of confidence as he spoke so boldly about victory in Lord’s after taking four goals, and I didn’t see such a beautiful drift in England, even against the wind,” he added.
“He had an impact on the moment he was introduced to the attack, Ollie Pope and Harry Brook got in a quick succession and let you think: Where was he?” he asked.
Sundar was able to extract a remarkable drift with an old ball, making India turning around to spin before – at least as variations when sailors tried to break through.
With a series on the line in Manchester, SHUBMAN GILL will have to gather a comeback of a mammoth proportion if they are to stay alive in this affair of five matches.
