Despite the brilliant performance of Team India’s top order batsmen in the Leeds Test match, he lost by 5 wickets against England. Since this defeat, questions are being raised on the performance of the team bowlers and lower order batsmen. Apart from this, Shubman Gill -led team is also being criticized on fielding. Former wicketkeeper batsman of the Indian team Dinesh Karthik has now asked many questions to the cricket fans, expressing grief over the defeat of the team. He has uploaded a video on social media, in which he has asked many questions to fans on India’s defeat.
What questions did Dinesh Karthik ask?
Former India wicketkeeper batsman and commentator Dinesh Karthik has regretted the defeat of the Indian team in the Leeds Test match. He has asked many questions to cricket fans by uploading a video on his Instagram page. He said in the videos that this defeat of Team India cannot be normal. I want you to tell in the comments where Team India made a mistake?
Karthik said-I will wait
Karthik further said in the video that Team India scored 835 runs in this match, including five brilliant centuries. No team has lost the Test match after doing so. Is this due to Jaspreet Bumrah not getting help from the other end? Did our fielders disappoint? Or in both innings (7 on 41 and 6 on 33), this happened by poor performance of lower order batsmen or something? You tell me in the comments, I will come back and tell how India lost this match? But before that, I want you to tell, why? I will wait. Earlier, Dinesh Karthik had targeted the lower order batsmen of Team India.
Dinesh Karthik compared to dog
Former Indian player Dinesh Karthik had fiercely targeted the poor performance of India’s lower order batsmen in the second innings. While talking with commentator Ian Ward and Mike Economon, he had compared India’s lower order to Dobberman dog.
He had said, “Like the Dobberman character, there is a head at the top in Indian batting order, then there is something in the middle, while there is nothing below”. Team India lost seven wickets for 41 runs in the first innings after a brilliant start and six wickets for only 33 runs in the second innings. Due to this, Team India had to face defeat in the Leeds Test match.
Many records made in Leeds Test
Many records were made during the first Test match played between India and England. This was the first Test in England in 35 years, with more than 300 runs in four innings. Apart from this, 1673 runs were scored in this Test match, which is the highest score in any Test match between the two teams.
