India saw two balls changes in 20 overs at 2 days 2 days in IND vs Eng 3rd Test, burning in Dux Ball with Shubman Gill
The Duke Ball once again intensified at 2 on the day of the Ind vs.NG 3rd Test. India’s second new ball lasted only for 10 overs. The position of the ball has been a continuous reason for the struggle for both teams, now getting angry with Shubman Gill on Friday.
Shubman Gill Duke Ball Controversy continues
India’s second new ball was out of size in just 63 delivery in 2 days of the ING 3rd Test. Jasprit Bumrah gave a good mantra to strike thrice in the first 30 minutes after the ball. A replacement ball was given, a very old ball. The ball hurt India, not much help to the Indian bowlers. Gill was blindly upset and took his concerns to the umpire Shafudaula. The ball was again replaced after 8 overs as the controversy over the balls continued.
What is said about Duke Ball?
Duke is under scanner throughout India vs. England series. Rishabh Pant was assigned a demerit point to throw the ball into the first test after the umpires refused to change the ball. The Indian vice-captain has also talked about the ball at its pre-match press conference.
“I think this is a big problem because the ball is getting out of size. Pant said.
England captain Ben Stokes also echoed a similar sense before the Prabhu’s testing. England struggled to change the ball in 2 Tests, where India ran him on the ground with his batting.
“Whenever we have a touring teams tour, the balls have an issue with soft and completely out of shape. He said.
What did Duke Ball Maker say?
Duke is the only ball that is stitched by hand and the machine is not made. The ball is used in Test matches in the UK and West Indies. Duke’s creator Duke Dilip Jajodia slammed the ball at critics, saying that it was fashionable.
“It is becoming a thing for people to complain about the ball. If they are not getting wickets, they go to the umpire. It is not a question of going out of the ball. If I have made a ball that does not go out of size, then there will be broken bats and fingers,” He told Sportstar after the second Test.
While Jajodia has defended Duke, Lords Test is another defect on the ball. Changes in two balls in 20 overs are a harmful.
