Team India started their campaign against England with defeat. The Indian team lost by 5 wickets in the Leeds Test match. In this Test match, Indian players left many catches, due to which the England team scored 465 runs in the first innings. Apart from this, the lower -order batsmen disappointed the team in two innings. Despite the defeat in the Leeds Test, the team captain Shubman Gill was proud of the players. He said that he is proud of his players.
What did Shubman Gill say?
Shubman Gill looked very disappointed after the defeat in the first Test match, but he also expressed pride in the team. He said after the match that it was a wonderful test. We had opportunities, but we could not redeem it. We left many catches, the batting did not get runs in the lower order, but I was proud of my team and all the efforts were made well.
Gill said that yesterday we were thinking that we will declare the innings by scoring around 430, but unfortunately we did not score runs. This thing did not go in our favor in this match. Will improve it in the upcoming matches. Shubman Gill has defended his players to quit the catch in this Test match.
What did Gill say when leaving the catch?
He said that opportunities are not easily available on such wickets, but we have a young team. With these mistakes we will learn and do well. We did a very good bowling in the first session. Did not give runs easily, but when the ball becomes old, it becomes difficult to stop the run.
Indian players left many catches in the first Test match
In the first Test match played between India and England, the players of Team India did very poor fielding. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal left several catches. Due to this, pressure on India increased. Team India has the worst performance in five years in terms of fielding. According to reports, this is the first time after 2019 that India have left five or more catches in the first innings of a Test match.
