IND vs Eng 3rd Test: Skipper Shubman Gill blamed the ‘error of decision’ after the loss in Lord’s Lords. Cricket news

London: India captain Shubman Gill said that Rishabh Pant’s run-out in the first innings was the moment that pushed his team back in the third Test. “We felt that Rishabh was running out in the first innings. The way they were batting, we thought that we can take a gain of 50-100 runs in the first innings. We knew that the pitch was going to be difficult to bat in the previous innings, ”Gill said after the match. On the third day, the pants were run while trying to strike KL Rahul on the stroke of lunch. Rahul later admitted that the pair had a chat about trying to reach their hundred before lunch two overs before lunch. Rahul had hit a long hop from Shoaib Bashir to a straight deep point, after which Pant tried to steal the same to bring Rahul back on strike. However, Ben Stokes impressed a great run-out at the end of the bowler to ruin Duo’s plans.

Gill said that there was a discussion about individual milestones being secondary in the dressing room. However, he came to protect Rahul on Monday evening. “We have a discussion of discussions. The reason for the team is always important. I think Pant called for the run and it was Rahul who was leaving at the end of the danger. So, I believe it was an error in the decision,” Gill said.

Mourning the top-order failure in the last day, Gill mentioned that the team once started believing Ravindra Jadeja and Jasprit Bumrah after going to the second session. Gill said, “Unfortunately the top order did not demonstrate. This is the first time in the series. But it is a very proud team attempt,” Gill said. “When Bumrah and Jaddu Bhai were batting, every five or six runs that we were scoring, we could see that England was starting to feel pressure. We all needed. 30, 40 runs, a small partnership of 30 runs, could create such a big difference. And we were quite optimistic when Sirj thought that we thought that with 12-15 runs with a couple. Gill also destroyed suspicion on the injury to the left index finger of the pants, which stopped him from holding wickets in the test. Gill said, “The pant has gone for a scan. Nothing has come from it. He should be cured for the Manchester Test.”
