IND vs ENG / Team India lost due to Shubman Gill's fight? What did Kaif say?

IND vs ENG: In the recent Test match played at Lord's, the Indian cricket team suffered a crushing defeat by 22 runs against England. This defeat not only weakened India's position in the series, but also raised serious questions on the leadership ability of captain Shubman Gill. Former India cricketer Mohammad Kaif considered Gill's captaincy as a major reason for the defeat and criticized his aggressive attitude. Kaif says that Gill's mistakes provoked England, which the Indian team had to bear the brunt.

Crawley-Gill controversy: The root of the defeat

At the end of the third day of the match, the time-wasting strategy by England batsmen Jack Crawley and Ben Duckett created tension between the two teams. Crawley tried to prolong the batting in the last overs of the day by making an excuse of injury, so that he would not have to bat for long. During this, Indian captain Shubman Gill clashed with Crawley on the field, and a heated argument was seen between the two. Mohammad Kaif considered this incident as one of the biggest reasons for the defeat.

Kaif wrote in his X-post, "The fight between Shashubhaman Gill and Jack Crawley shook England. After Edgbaston Questions were raised about his batting, bowling and captaincy. But this incident filled Stokes with enthusiasm. Gave it and he bowled brilliantly. Stick to the attitude that works for you. Samir Thapar. He is the one who celebrates the victory of the Indian team."

Kaif believes that this debate filled the England team with new enthusiasm, after which they performed brilliantly.

Repeated heated arguments on the field

A tense atmosphere was seen many times during the match. At the beginning of the fourth day, Mohammad Siraj celebrated aggressively after dismissing Ben Duckett, for which he had to face a fine from the ICC. Apart from this, there was a heated argument between Brydon Cars and Akash Deep at the end of the fourth day. On the fifth day, there was also a heated exchange between Ravindra Jadeja and English fast bowler Brydon Cars on the field.

Questions on Gill's captaincy

Shubhman Gill's aggressive strategy and his behavior on the field not only inspired the opposition team, but also affected the performance of the Indian team. According to Kaif, Gill needs to exercise restraint in his strategy and behavior, otherwise such defeats can pursue India in the future as well.

Future of the series

After this defeat, the Indian team is in a difficult situation in the series. Discussions have intensified among fans and experts regarding Gill's captaincy and the performance of the team. In the next match, India will have to improve their strategy and mindset, so that the hope of comeback in the series remains intact.
