In the third Test match played at Lord’s, Team India lost by 22 runs against England. In the second innings of this match, the batsmen of Team India batted poorly and that is why England won. After the end of the third Test, on Tuesday, July 15, the Indian men and women cricket team met King Charles III at St. James Palace in London. Test captain of Indian men’s cricket team Shubman Gill has given a big statement about this meeting. He revealed that King Charles III had watched the Lord’s Test match and expressed regret on Siraj’s wicket.
Siraj cried after being dismissed
Talking about Lord’s Test, when Team India needed 23 runs to win, Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammad Siraj were present at the crease. The 75th over of India’s second innings was throwing Shoaib Bashir. Siraj defined Shoaib Bashir’s ball. However, the ball fell to the ground and went on the wicket completely. Siraj himself could not believe how he got out. After a while he was seen crying. When King Charles III met the Indian team, he made a big statement about this thing.
Gill said, ‘It was fantastic to meet King Charles III. He met us very happily. We had a good conversation between us. They are really very kind. King Charles III told us that the manner in which Siraj was out was very sad. The ball went to the rolling stumps. On this, Gill said that this match was not good for us. We hope that we win in both the remaining Tests.
