IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill criticized, Ben Stokes fires up crowd after dismissing India captain in Manchester
New Delhi: Shubman Gill had not had a good day on the first day of the fourth Test against England at Manchester on Wednesday. England sent back a well-set opening duo of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal before sending back Shubman Gill to reduce India to three down for 149 at tea on the first day of the fourth Test on Wednesday.
What happened in the match?
Sai Sudharsan (26) and Rishabh Pant (3) were at the crease during the second break of the day. England, who did not receive a wicket during the morning session, finally managed to send one back just after lunch as Chris Woakes finally received his reward for working his heart out bowling in the off-stump channel. He caught Rahul (46 off 98) at third slip off a ball that seamed away from length.
What did Shubman Gill do before?
Following a very intense third Test, in which Shubman Gill had goaded the England team with some aggressive gestures and banter, the eyes were on the India captain. The fact that he had also informed England players that they were not adhering to the ‘Spirit of the Game’ during the third Test made the game spicier.
How was the Indian captain dismissed?
India captain Gill (12) did not last long as he had underestimated an incoming delivery from Stokes. He did not even attempt a shot, and was caught in front. Ben Stokes celebrated in a very aggressive way. At the same time, the English crowd present at Old Trafford booed Gill as well.
