ENG vs Ind: Mohammad Siraj took the wicket of Jack Crolee in the fifth Test (Photo- PTI)
During the fifth Test match between England and India, Mohammad Siraj and Shubman Gill ended all the smartness of Jack Croly in one stroke. Jack Crolya was trying to put his mind more than the extent. But they did not run in front of Gill and Siraj and India got great success. All this was seen just before the end of the third day of the fifth Test match. English batsmen were trying to become smart and they were spoiling the time but a single ball of Siraj completely shattered his hopes.
Siraj and Gill’s cleverness falls heavy on the crown
In this match, Team India scored 396 runs losing all wickets in their second innings. England need 374 runs to win the match. Chasing the target, when Jack Crolee came to bat from the England team, he was wasting a lot of time which the Indian team captain Shubman Gill and Mohammad Siraj did not like it at all. English players have already done such in Lord’s Test. However, Gill did not say anything and he made a great plan. Shubman built a fielder in the square leg. He wanted Crowley to felt that Siraj would throw him a small ball in anger.
However, the fast bowler threw a strong yorker and showed Crooly back to the pavilion. Jack Crolya was dismissed for just 14 runs in the second innings. India took the first wicket due to Shubman Gill’s best captaincy and the deadly ball of Siraj. This wicket was necessary for Team India because Croli scored 64 runs in the first innings. At present, by the end of the third day, England have scored 50 runs losing one wicket in their second innings and they need 324 runs.

Did something similar in Lord’s Test
The third Test match between these two teams was played at Lord’s Stadium. In this match too, during England’s innings, Ben Docket and Jack Croly came late to bat. Actually, when England landed on the field to bat, only 7 minutes were left. Both these players wanted them to play at least over that day and for this reason they landed on the field, which the Indian Test team captain Shubman Gill did not like it at all. He reprimanded both the players for this action. Gill said that while the Indian team and umpire had come on the field on one side, both England openers did not come late and did the right thing.
