It was a tough test for young Captain SHUBMAN GILL and his bowling group when England dominated driving with a real authority on the 3rd day of the fourth test in Manchester. While India dropped by 2-1 before the fourth test, she was in the competition in each meeting of the first three matches. In the old Trafford, however, they were comfortably overly exaggerated on 2 and 3, with England sent an Indian bowling unit for leather hunting.
Exclusion of Kuldeep Yadava, real gate capabilities, at the beginning of the test drew criticism, Especially as an injury as Arshdeep Singh and Akash Deep, fans and scientists were wondering whether India would finally pass the wrist of the left shoulder and Go in the series. India, however, decided on a safer route by retaining the depth of the launch and handed over the debut of the medium coating Anshul Kartoj, which replaced Akash Deep. | ENG vs Indian, 4. Test day 3 Updates |
India felt the absence of Bowler strike when their attack was dismantled by Ben Duckett and Zak Crawley on 2nd day. After they were exposed to 357-zabolní on Thursday and Friday to the big knock-nadostatky of the firepower in the bowling line-up.
Jasprit Bumrah looked unimpressed for the first time in the series, and Mohammed Siraj looked tired and played his fourth consecutive test. The debutant Anshul, a bowling military medium, was constantly trying to concern English dough, although he claimed the key goal of Ben Duckett on day 2.
On Thursday England raced 225 on 2 on stumpscoring on more than five runs for more than. The dominant launch show continued on Friday morning when Joe Root and Ollie Pope best made use of a bright morning and flat playground. Bumrah and Siraj opened the day with hostile spells, bowling tight lines – unlike Thursday afternoon, where they wasted a new ball.
However, the root and the Pope weattered the storm and maintained the result table by checking the attack on Anshul and Ravindra Jadeja. Captain Gill showed a little faith in Sharduula Thakura, although he chose him as a versatile bowling.
She did not understand even more was the unwillingness of India using Washington Sundar, who took four goals in the second shift of the previous Lord’s test. Sundar was not brought to the attack until 69. Despite the English shifts.
Sundar had an immediate impact and broke the 144-run stand for the third goal by removing the well-set Ollie Pope. He then claimed the big goal of Harry Brook, who left the dough 1 stump.
Sundar’s ability to strike twice with a rapid sequence, along with a drift that came on the 3rd day, raised more questions about why Captain Gill did not believe his teammate Gujarat Titans earlier.
Red flag in Gill’s Captaincy
Former Indian dough Sanjay Manjrekar said that Gill hesitation to use his spinning plants was a red flag, although he stressed that the whole fault should not fall only to the captain. He also criticized Chief coach Gautam Gambhir for not being practical enough when the team was under pressure.
“Somewhere down the line, Shaubman Gill feels that his spinner can’t get him a goal. Washington – maybe he doesn’t evaluate him so much. But that’s the main red flag for me,” Manjrekar said during the day of lunch at the 3rd day.
“You have to be patient with SHUBMAN GILL. I have already admired him. He was worthy of a deep end. I really think Bumhrah should take the reins whenever he was fit.
“Gill was thrown on the wolves on a tour against an impressive opposition and he is still held his own.
“This is where Gautam Gambhir, the head coach, has to come in the picture. It’s almost like you need a U19 coach who is more involved in the field tactics.” Must. “
“I don’t see any credible reason for not using Sundar after 68 breaks. I see it as the main red flag in the characteristics of SHUBMAN GILL as a captain.”
Believe more of your spiral
Former head coach India Ravi Shastri also called on Gill to trust his second spinner.
“In my first comment, I said Gill had to trust more to his skewers. Washington gave him four goals in the last game. In the last Lord’s test he opened things for India.
“He’s self -confident, so give him.
Broad defends Gill
However, the former English Pacer Stuart Broad was defended by SHUBMAN GILL and said that it is not easy for a young captain to contain furious England on high -valuable land, such as Manchester. Broad quoted Pat Cummins in the Ashes test in 2023 at Old Trafford, where Senior Captain Aussie seemed helpless when England accumulated at 589 for more than five runs after the end.
“One thing I would say to support SHUBMAN GILL: I watched Pat Cummins here against England in 2023 – a very successful Australian captain – he has every player on the border and he just chased the skin all day.
“This English team, this unit for England’s bats, can very, very difficult for the captains to find ways to be creative. Because they are so aggressive with what they do, both sides of the goal are missing.
“You can’t control anything – especially the lines with which the Indian pitchs have left, not only last night, but also a little tonight.”
