IND vs ENG: Did Shubman Gill start crying after the Lord's defeat? This video surfaced

IND vs ENG: Indian cricket team captain Shubman Gill recently made headlines by creating history in the Edgbaston Test. After this victory, his spirits were high, and he came out with the intention of defeating England again on the historic ground of Lord's. However, in the Lord's Test, the Indian team lost by 22 runs in a close match, after which a video of Shubman Gill's disappointment went viral on social media. Let us understand the reasons for this defeat and the truth of the viral video in close detail.

Truth of viral video

After the defeat in the Lord's Test, a video of Shubman Gill in the dressing room went viral on social media. In this video, Gill is seen covering his face with one hand and wiping his eyes repeatedly. Disappointment was clearly visible on his face. In the background, Indian team head coach Gautam Gambhir is seen talking to someone. This video surfaced after the disappointing performance of the Indian batsmen in the second innings, due to which England won this thrilling match. Some people on social media claimed that Gill was crying, but it is difficult to say whether he was really crying or just hiding his face in despair. This video shows his emotional state after the defeat, which is natural for a captain.

Account of Lord's Test

In the Lord's Test, England batted first and scored 387 runs. In response, the Indian team's first innings was also reduced to 387 runs, which tied the match. In the second innings, the Indian bowlers performed brilliantly and bundled out England for just 192 runs. Given this small target, India had a golden opportunity to win, but the performance of the Indian batsmen in the second innings was very disappointing. The whole team was all out for only 170 runs, and England won the match by 22 runs to take a 2-1 lead in the series.

Ravindra Jadeja played a brilliant innings of 61 not out in the second innings and struggled till the end, but his efforts failed due to lack of support from other batsmen. Especially captain Shubman Gill was a complete flop in both the innings, which raises questions on his captaincy and batting.

Questions on Gill's performance and captaincy

After a brilliant performance in the Edgbaston Test, the same was expected from Shubman Gill at Lord's, but his batting was weak in both innings. His poor form affected the entire team, and this defeat proved to be a big setback for the Indian camp. The aggression that the team showed at Edgbaston under Gill's captaincy was missing at Lord's. The need to improve his strategy and batting is clearly visible.
