India captain Shubman Gill found himself in the midst of a tense situation during the third Test against England at Lord’s. The final moments of Day 3 proved to be critical, with England’s intentions clear as they came out to bat for their second innings with minimal time left on the clock.
Intense Moments Unfold
Opener Zak Crawley raised concerns about movement behind the sightscreen, and shortly after, requested physio assistance following a hit on his finger by Jasprit Bumrah. Gill, visibly frustrated, expressed his disapproval of Crawley’s actions.
After a few exchanges, Crawley engaged in a discussion with his partner Ben Duckett, leading to more tension on the field. Despite the delay tactics employed by England, they only managed to face one over on Day 3 due to the extended interruptions.
Confrontation Escalates
Gill confronted Duckett and Crawley, signaling his discontent with what he perceived as time-wasting strategies from the opposition. The Indian team responded with sarcastic applause, highlighting the intensity of the situation.
The Test match witnessed high drama as Crawley narrowly survived a challenging delivery from Bumrah on the final ball of the over, narrowly avoiding the edge of his bat.
These heated moments between Gill and Crawley added a new layer of excitement to the riveting contest between India and England, showcasing the competitive spirit on the cricket field.
