The second day of the Lord’s Test was full of drama. On this day, the 37th century of the Test career of Joe Root came. Jasprit Bumrah took 5 wickets, but the second day also became memorable due to Shubman Gill’s debate with the umpire. Actually, the Indian team was not happy with Dux Ball and there was a demand to replace the ball again and again. After several times the demand was rejected, captain Shubman Gill had angry with the umpires in anger.
In the third Test match, the Indian team kept demanding to change the ball several times on both days. The umpires investigated with the ball checking rings, on some occasions the umpire approved the change of the ball but the ball was not changed on most occasions. Actually, so far the size of Dux ball in the entire Test series is becoming a matter of controversy.
England bowler Stuart Broad has also reacted to the Indian team’s demand to replace the ball repeatedly. He admitted that there is some problem with Dux Ball. Broad said, “The cricket ball should be like a great wicketkeeper, which is very little talked about. But here is a lot of discussion on the ball in every innings. It is not acceptable because it is really a problem with Dux ball.
Apart from Shubman Gill, Mohammad Siraj was also heard on the mic stump. Siraj told the umpire that he has been given a 10 -over -old ball. The issue of a debate is also that at the beginning of the second day, Jasprit Bumrah had taken 3 wickets within just 14 balls, but after that the Indian team could not take any wicket in the entire session. In the current series, the dux ball falls quickly and its shape in a few overs and getting old, such topics are being debated in the cricket world.
