Shubman Singh Gill

There was a week-long gap after the first Test in Leeds and the third Test at Lord's, but teams just had a three-day turnaround between the second and third match, and fourth and the fifth game.

Gill was hesitant to bring on Sundar, but Ravindra Jadeja was given a few overs in between. The fact that Sundar had taken five wickets in the last Test at Lord's made it all the more surprising.

Gautam Gambhir also said that those who have doubts about Shubman Gill, lack knowledge of cricket.

Shubman Gill had never previously batted more than 243 minutes in the second innings of a Test, and his Old Trafford vigil has now already gone past five hours.

The Manchester Test laid bare the tattered fabric of the Indian team management's negative mindset.

Shubman Gill scored a couple of tons, and a double century in the first two Tests but as the series progressed his form saw a significant drop.

Manjrekar compared Pant's performance to legendary Indian bowler Anil Kumble's performance, in which he bowled against the West Indies in the Antigua Test in 2002 despite having a broken jaw.

The tone was established by the tense play in the closing minutes of Day 3 in the previous match at Lord's as Gill got involved in a heated argument with Zak Crawley for wasting time on purpose.

This isn't the first time Mohammad Kaif has been critical of Shubman Gill's call during the course of the series.

Shubman Gill questioned England's "spirit of the game" - referring it to the incident which led to almost a brawl like situation between him and English opener Zak Crawley at Lord's.

At the moment, England have a 2-1 lead in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy. The next match between the two sides is in Manchester.

As India heads into a decisive clash, all eyes will be on Shubman Gill—not just as a batter, but as a leader carving his own legacy.

Gill acknowledged that his response was driven by emotion, but also emphasized that the incident wasn’t an isolated moment.

With Shubman Gill expecting the wicket to generate "more pace and bounce" this could be a golden opportunity for Anshul Kamboj to make an instant impact.

Chappell urged Gill to set an example not just with the bat, but through his leadership qualities and firm decision-making on the field.

With matches in Manchester and London (The Oval) to come, India trail 1-2 in the five-match series.

In 2011, Gary Kirsten and MS Dhoni helped India win the 50-over World Cup for the first time in 28 years.

In the Lord's Test, Jasprit Bumrah bowled 43 overs. It should be noted that in the first game of the series at Headingley, the top-ranked Test bowler also sent down 43.4 overs.

Sanjay Manjrekar pointed Virat Kohli enjoyed picking fights with the opposition because it brought out the best in him.

The Indian fielders led by Gill gave Crawley sarcastic claps before Day 4. Later, things got heated when India pacer Mohammed Siraj dismissed Duckett with a fiery send-off.
