England’s victory for the first two hours of the fourth day of the fourth Test being played at Old Trafford, Manchester looked confirmed. Then Shubman Gill and KL Rahul have turned water to the British plans. After two wickets fell on Zero, Gill and Rahul shared a big blow to England by sharing 174 runs. What was the courage of England that he has come down on cheating. The fourth Test being played in Manchester has led to a case of ball tempering. In the viral video, Bridan cars are seen tampering with the ball.

Bridan Cars pressed the ball with shoes

It is clearly visible in the viral video that Bridan cars are deliberately pressing the ball with shoes. Former Australia veteran Ricky Ponting, who is commenting, gets an eye on this. They say that cars are rubbing the ball with shoes. This ball will be spoiled from one side and then reverse swing will start getting.

Ricky Ponting on Sky Sports Cricket said that the incident was of the last over of Bridan Cars, where he was tampering with the ball in his follow-three. He stops the ball and… Oops! Makes some large marks of spikes on the bright part of the ball.

311 lead declined to 137

On the fourth day, England extended their innings ahead with a score of 544/7. By this time, England had a total lead of 186 runs. Shortly after the day’s game began, Jasprit Bumrah made Liam Dawson clean at a score of 26, but captain Stokes was standing at the crease like a strong wall. No.-10 batsman Bridan Cars became a headache for the Indian team, who shared a 95-run partnership with Stokes, playing 47 runs. Stokes’s innings ended at a score of 141 and England scored 669 runs.

During this innings, Ben Stokes also broke many records. Stokes has now become the fifth and England captain to take a century and 5 wickets in a single Test match as a captain. Stokes has also crossed the 7,000 -run mark in its Test career.

Gill and Rahul did wonders

England had gained 311 runs in the first innings. In response, Yashasvi Jaiswal kept going without opening an account in the first over. On the fourth ball of the first over of the innings, Jaiswal was out, Sai Sudarshan became a victim of Golden Duck on the next ball. India had lost two important wickets at zero.

Captain Shubman Gill batting on number-4, but due to two early shaking, he had to come to bat in the first over. He took over the Indian innings in collaboration with KL Rahul and his partnership has been 174 runs till the fourth day. If Team India is unable to score 137 runs, then it will have to face the defeat of the innings.

Ind vs eng 2nd test: The second Test is being played between India and England at Edgbaston Cricket Ground in Birmingham. On the first day, Shubman Gill played a brilliant century innings, before that Yashasvi Jaiswal (87) also got a good start but he could not convert his innings into a century. During the match, English bowler Bridan Cars did a poor act in the desire to dismiss Gill, but Gill caught his dishonesty.

England captain Ben Stokes won the toss and decided to bowl first. India did not start well, KL Rahul was dismissed after scoring 2 runs. After this, there was a partnership of 80 runs between Yashasvi Jaiswal and Karun Nair. In the first session, Gill had come to bat, in the second session, he along with Jaiswal craved England for a wicket. Meanwhile, Bridan Cars did this dishonesty.

What did Bridon Cars do

This is about the 34th over, Bridan cars were coming to put the ball and Shubman Gill was on batting. But during the runup, he pointed the other way with the left hand. This was probably to distract the attention of the batsman, you will remember that in IPL 2014, Andre Russell did something similar with Shane Watson.

Although captain Gill caught this dishonesty of the cars, he did not play the ball and retreated before putting the ball. Angry Gill also said something to the bowler. In the video, you can see how the cars wanted to resort to poor tricks to get out.

IND vs Eng First Test: A changed Team India, led by Shubman Gill, is going to start its new journey of Test series in England from June 20, ie 20 June. After retirement from Test cricket of experienced players like Rohit Sharma, Virat Kohli and R Ashwin, the Indian team is going to take the field with a completely new team this time. Many players have been included in the Indian team who have no experience of playing by foreign pitches, but in this tour, Team India will have to struggle not only with the challenging circumstances of England, but also with three unseen threats that they have never faced before.

Three new threats can become headache for India

The Indian team is not taking the name of the crisis being reduced. For the first match of this Test series, England have included some bowlers in their team who are completely new to the Indian batsmen. Those who have never played by the Indian batsmen. These are three new players, fast bowler Joshua Charles Tung, all -rounder Bern Karse and Pesar Samuel James Cook. These three players have not played any Test against India so far, but their domestic and initial international performance has been so strong that they have the ability to reverse the match at any time with their bowling. Although the England team has not yet announced the team, but if these players are part of playing 11, then they can become a big threat for the Indian team.

Danger Number One, Joshua Tung

Fast bowler Joshua Tung made his Test debut against Ireland in 2023 at Lord’s and took a brilliant 5 wickets in his first match. After this, against the aggressive team like Australia, he once again surprised everyone with his bowling with 5 wickets on the same ground. Till now Tung has played only 3 Test matches in his career, but he has proved himself by taking 12 wickets in all three matches.

Danger number two, bridan karse

All -rounder Bridon Karse can also prove to be a major challenge for Team India. Karse has played 5 Test matches for England so far. He has taken 27 wickets in these matches. Kars’, who has done well against strong teams like New Zealand and Pakistan, can play as a useful batsman in the lower order, so that he can play a double role in the team.

Danger Number Three, Samuel James Cook

Samuel James Cook has recently debuted. He does not have enough experience of Test cricket. Samuel has played only one Test so far, that too against Zimbabwe this year. Although he took only one wicket in that match, but his way of bowling and the exact line-length has impressed everyone. This bowler is completely unaware for the batsmen of India, who can create difficulties for them.

Chris Woakes will also have to be cautious

Some new players of Team India will also be seen facing England veteran all -rounder Chris Woakes for the first time. Vox’s record against India has been excellent. He has taken 23 wickets in 9 Tests against the Indian team. In his cricketing career, Chris Woakes has 181 wickets and 1970 runs in 57 Tests.

Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, this new Team India is going to take a difficult exam in England. Along with struggling with three new English bowlers and circumstances, captain Gill will have a dual responsibility of batting and team balance. In such a situation, it will be interesting to see how Team India faces these unseen threats.
