Shubman Gill’s anger erupted in the press conference, English veteran also supported, “Crowley crossed the limits, the umpire also kept watching the spectacle”

The real reason for the tension in the Lord’s Test played between India and England has now been revealed. Team India captain Shubman Gill has now openly given a statement on the drama that took place in the last over of the third day. Gill accused Jack Croly of going against the spirit of the game and said that he was intentionally wasted time,

What was the whole matter?

In the Lord’s Test, there was a sharp sledging between the two teams. Jasprit Bumrah was putting the last over of the third day. At that time, Jack Croi was repeatedly wasting time during the run-up. So that India does not get a chance to put another over. After this, he pretended to hit the gloves and then also called the medical attention to the ground. Indian players clapped and taunted his ‘drama’ and Shubman Gill was seen very angry on the field.

Gill told the press conference that the England opener reached the crease 90 seconds from the scheduled time and wasted time throughout the day. Annoyed by this whole incident, Shubman Gill said, “Crowli was deliberately cutting time. It was completely against the spirit of the game. The umpires should have intervened, but he did not say anything. I lost my temper because this method was wrong.”

This former England veteran supported

Former England batsman and coach Mark Ramprakash has also reacted to the matter. He said that Gill’s anger was right and Jack Croly should have taken the game forward instead of wasting time. Ramprakash wrote in “The Guardian”, “The batsman may stop a little in the last over of the day, but England crossed the limits with this action. The umpires also did not say anything on the whole matter and ignored it, which worsened the matter.”

He further said, “I did not think that Shubman Gill could be so aggressive, but he was standing firmly with his team. At such a time, the unity of the team and the captain’s leadership is seen.”

Now the eyes are on the Manchester Test, which is going to start from July 23. England are currently 2–1 in the series and India now needs victory to return.
