Nasir Hussain and Dinesh Karthik clashed on Gill’s statement
England won against India in the third Test match played at Lord’s. However, after the third day of the game of this match, Indian Test captain Shubman Gill made a statement that England openers Jack Croly and Ben Docket had reached the crease with 90 seconds delay. According to Gill, all the players of Team India were ready to bowl but the England openers took a long time to reach the crease. Now former England captain Nasir Hussain and India’s veteran Dinesh Karthik spoke among themselves about this statement about this statement of the Indian Test captain.
Such is the person between Nasir Hussain and Karthik
In fact, on the first day of the Manchester Test game, Ravindra Jadeja and Shardul Thakur were present at the crease and the floodlight had to be burnt due to poor light at the Old Trafford Stadium. Jadeja also talked to Field Umpire Ehsan Raza and Rod Tucker. At that time, Nasir Hussain said about Gill’s statement in the press conference that he too had laughed at the Indian Test captain. Dinesh Karthik also gave a befitting reply to this.
Nasir Hussain said, ‘I think the umpires were worried about bad light in the last over. I did not see any light meter there. I am laughing about Shubman Gill’s press conference. Really England did not show the spirit of the game by delayed? On the third day and that too an over. This is a laugh but every team does this and the Indian team will do the same. Why would he play an over over of Jofra Archer in low light?
On this, Dinesh Karthik said, ‘There is a lot of difference between the two. I do not think India would not like to bat 90 seconds. I think Shubman Gill had a problem and spoke. It is true that he came late to take the strike and Gill had trouble with it.
After all, what did Gill say in the press conference?
After the third day of the Lord’s Test, Shubman Gill said, ‘Yes, most teams adopt this strategy. Even if we were in the same situation, we too would have preferred to play more over, but there is a way to do so. We realized that yes, if your body is hurt, then Physio will come and it is also fine. But coming to the crease with a delay of 90 seconds, I think it does not come under the spirit of sports.
Currently, by the end of the first day of the Manchester Test game, India has scored 264 runs losing four wickets in the first innings. Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 58 runs from the team while Sai Sudarshan contributed 61 runs. By the end of the first day’s play, Ravindra Jadeja has scored 19 runs unbeaten while Shardul Thakur is batting on 19 runs not out.
