The ongoing Test series between India and England is making headlines for its exciting matches as well as the hot atmosphere on the field. Especially during the third Test match, the sharp debate between Indian batsman Shubman Gill and England opener Jack Crolly caught the attention of cricket lovers. This incident not only caused tension on the field, but also questioned the spirit of sports. Prior to the fourth Test, Shubman Gill broke his silence on the controversy in a press conference and made serious allegations against the England team.
Shubman Gill made serious allegations against England
There was a debate between Shubman Gill and Jack Croi at the end of the third day of the Lord’s Test. Jack Crolyh was trying to waste time, after which Shubman Gill was enraged. But Gill revealed in the press conference before the fourth Test that not only during the batting, but also England had ruined the time while starting the innings. According to Gill, the England team was given 7 minutes to play, but he had reached the ground for 90 seconds late. After this, he also spoiled the time on the ground.
Due to this, there was a fight
Shubman Gill said, ‘English batsmen had 7 minutes to play. He came 90 minutes late. Not 10-20, but they came exactly 90 seconds late. If we were in their position, we also wanted to do so but there is a way to do such things. I don’t think it was in the spirit of the game. We had no intention of doing such things (disputes), but sometimes feelings come to the fore.
Shubman Gill’s statement has once again started a discussion about the spirit of sports in cricket. Cricket has always been considered a gentleman game, where players are expected to not only demonstrate their talent, but also respect the rules and morality of the game. But intentionally wasted time, there is a serious allegation, which shows that the fight between the two teams is no longer limited to the scoreboard, but it has become a game of psychological pressure and strategy.
