The Indian cricket team is undoubtedly 1-2 in the Test series, but in every match they have given a tough fight to England. India’s batsmen have performed historically, although the bowling was seen struggling a little. On the last day of the fourth Test played in Manchester, England players created a non -essential controversy. He demanded to finish the match when Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were close to their centuries. Now Robin Uthappa has also lashed out by English players.

Jack Croly and Ben Docket, including England captain Ben Stokes, erupted after Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar rejected the offer of not joining hands and ending the match. Jack Crolye described it as shameful. Robin Uthappa is not happy with such rhetoric.

What did Robin Uthappa say

He said during live on his YouTube channel, “There is no harm in talking. We have no time left in the end of the day’s game, can we go out? If someone is close to a century and he does not agree for it, we have the right. We think we are entitled to it. But the players of England are behind. But what were the players like Jack Kroli, Ben Docket?”

He said, “It was necessary, because a Test century is a Test century. Very few people, only 1 or 2 percent of the people of the cricket world are able to do this.

Robin said, “This is as if you are saying that it cannot eat non -veg because it is against our morality. It is like this. If I eat non -veg and you eat veg food then what is the difference to you? We both can be happy in our place.”

England cricket team raised controversy

India’s defeat in the fourth Test was considered to be sure, but till 5 sessions, the Indian batsmen stood like a rock and draw the match. This was not a victory for India but England was definitely defeated, the players of England did a new trick. When Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar were close to their century, Ben Stokes came to join hands with him because he wanted the match to be stopped.

Shubman Gill did not accept this proposal, although Team India could not win this match but the captain wanted Jadeja and Sundar to convert this brilliant innings into a century. The same happened, both of them completed their centuries, this was the first international century of Sundar. Earlier, Shubman Gill also scored a century. KL Rahul played an important innings of 90 runs.

In the Manchester Test, England have scored 669 runs in the first innings. Team India’s first innings was reduced to 358 runs, due to which England got a huge lead of 311 runs. Ben Stokes and Joe Root composed history by scoring centuries for the English team. Root scored 150 runs and Stokes scored 141 runs. At the same time, the most successful bowler for India was Ravindra Jadeja, who took a total of 4 wickets.

The first innings of the Indian team was reduced to 358 runs. Sai Sudarshan, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant played a half -century innings for India. When England team came to batting, Ben Docket and Jack Croi broke down on Indian bowlers. Docket scored 94 runs and Croley scored 84 runs. Oli Pope also contributed 71 runs, but the Indian bowlers succeeded in preventing all three top order batsmen from scoring centuries.

Broken 61 year old record

England have made the biggest Test score in one innings at the Manchester ground. Till now, Australia had a record for scoring the biggest score on Manchester, which scored 656 runs in a single innings against England in 1964, but now England have scored 669 runs and have made this record in their name.

Historical centuries of root and stokes

Joe Root scored 150 runs in this match, due to which he has come second in terms of scoring the most runs in the history of Test cricket. Now only Sachin Tendulkar is ahead of him, who scored 15,921 runs in the Test. At the same time, Root has scored 13,409 runs. In this match, he made a record of scoring the most Test century against India.

On the other hand, Stokes has become only the 5th player in the world to take 5 wickets in one Test and score a century. He is the first Test captain of England to do so. Along with this, he has also done the feat of scoring 7000 runs in Tests and taking 200 wickets.

The Indian team has never won a Test match in Manchester. In such a situation, England’s 311 -run lead, Team India is giving the possibility of defeat of an innings. It will be very difficult to cross this 311 -run lead because batting on the pitch has become very difficult on the fourth day.

India vs England Manchester Test has been in the news due to the injury of Rishabh Pant. He was hurt in the thumb on the first day, the investigation found that there was a fracture in his thumb. He did not do wicketkeeping, but came to batting despite fractures in the thumb. On the second day, when Pant came to batting, he was called a ‘warrior’, but a veteran of England has accused him of cheating. David Lloyd alleged that Pant tried to exaggerate his injury to attract everyone’s attention.

Former England cricketer David Lloyd, while discussing TalkSport cricket, said, “I was present in the Legends Lounge today, where people unanimously said,” Rishabh Pant is taking advantage of his injury. It cannot be so serious. When Pant was coming down the stairs, he has exaggerated the injury. One or two people also advised that Rishabh Pant should be dismissed. “

ICC got angry on subsidy rule

On the one hand, David Lloyd criticized Rishabh Pant, on the other hand he also demanded a change in the subsidy rule from the ICC. Lloyd said that he was strongly against the ‘runner’ rule for the injured players, but also supported the bringing of the substitute player in case of serious injury.

He said, “There are many flaws in the substitute rule, but if a player is seriously injured, then the rule of like for like replacement should be brought.

Although Rishabh Pant batted, he was not fully fit. After this, many reports said that Pant may be out of the fourth Test or just join the playing 11 as a batsman.

Will Rishabh Pant keep wickets in the fourth Test?

Team India is backward from 1-2

The fourth test for India is like ‘do or die’. The first Test of the series was won by England and second by India. England took a 2–1 lead by winning the third Test. If the fourth Test wins England, then it will take an invincible lead in the series, while Team India would like to win this Test and equal the series 2-2. Even if this Test draw is done, the danger of series defeat on England will end. That is, even after winning the fifth Test, the England series will be able to end only on par.

The fourth Test match between India and England will be played from 23 July (Ind vs Eng 4th Test Date) at the Old Trafford Maidan in Manchester. After the completion of three matches, England is leading 2–1 in the series. This will be a do or die match for Team India, because it will be impossible to win his series with defeat or draw. Earlier, the fourth Test starts, let us know that India or England on the Manchester ground, whose pan is heavy?

First of all, we know how India and England have a head-to-head record in Test cricket? A total of 139 Test matches have been played between the two countries so far, out of which 53 times England and Team India have been victorious on 36 occasions. At the same time, India-England 50 Test matches are left on the draw.

How is the record of both in Manchester?

Talking about the Old Trafford Maidan in Manchester, so far 9 Test matches have been played between India and England, in which four times the England team has won and the other five matches have been missed. Team India has never won a Test match at the Old Trafford ground in the history so far. India came to this ground in the year 1974, when it lost by 113 runs to England.

India and England last clashed at this ground in 2014. In that match, England scored 367 runs in an innings. In response to this, the Indian team was soaked in such a way that they could not score 367 runs even in the innings. Finally, Team India lost that match innings and 54 runs.

Indian batsmen bad condition in Manchester

Most of the current team’s cricketers have never played Test matches at the Old Trafford ground. Indian batsman Sunil Gavaskar, who scored the most runs on this ground, was 242 runs in five innings here. No Indian batsman, who made her debut in the 21st century, has not been able to touch the 200 runs in Test matches here. These figures are proving somewhere that it is going to be very difficult for Team India to win in Manchester.

After losing a close match in Leeds, the Indian team registered a historic victory in Edgbaston. But Shubman Gill & Team Lords lost 1-2 in the series after losing to England. In the third Test, India had to score 193 runs to win, after the top order was shattered, Ravindra Jadeja hoped to win but could not take the victory. Before the remaining 2 Tests, 3 big questions have arisen in front of Gautam Gambhir.

In the second innings, Team India’s 7th wicket fell on a score of 82 as Washington Sundar, before KL Rahul (39) was losing his wicket at 81. But after this Ravindra Jadeja took over the innings, he stayed at one end but there was no batsman to support him at the other end. In the end, Team India was all out at 170, Ravindra Jadeja remained unbeaten on 61 runs.

Now 3 big questions have arisen in front of Gautam Gambhir, whose answers will have to be found within the next one week. India vs England will be played in the fourth Test from 23 July in Manchester (Old Trafford Cricket Ground).

Who will play the fourth Test in place of Jaspreet Bumrah?

Bumrah did not play in the second Test, Akashdeep replaced him. He was fed in the third Test due to good performance, while the famous Krishna was excluded. Now if Bumrah does not play the fourth Test, then it is difficult to replace Krishna in his place, because he proved to be very expensive in the last 2 Tests. It is likely that Arshdeep Singh may get a chance to debut in Manchester.

Let us know that Bumrah will play only 3 Tests in this series, he has played 2 Tests (first and third) and will now play only 1 Test out of the remaining 2. This will be very difficult in front of Gautam Gambhir.

How serious Rishabh Pant’s injury?

On the very first day of the Lord’s Test, Rishabh Pant was injured, he went out of the ground after being in his finger during fielding. Dhruv Jurlel took the wicket keeping in his place, Pant batted but was dismissed for 9 runs in the second innings. Pant was playing after saving his finger, due to which he was having a lot of trouble.

Now it has to be seen how serious their injury is, because feeding if not fully fit, Team India can be overwhelmed. Dhruv Jurlel may get a chance in his place.

How long will Karun Nair get a chance?

Karun Nair will be a big concern for Gautam Gambhir, who has played in the last 3 Tests but could not do anything amazing. Karun, who has come on important occasions and losing his wicket, is also getting a lot of criticism on social media. He is returning to international cricket after about 8 years, but impressing is a victim of criticism.

Sai Sudarshan made his first Test debut, but was dropped from the second Test after a flop. If Karun has lost 3 consecutive occasions, Gambhir will have a big question whether he should include him in playing 11 in the fourth Test or should someone else be given a chance.

Team India never won in Old Trafford

• Total Match- 9
• England won- 4
• India won- 0
• Draw-5

The Indian cricket team has played 9 Tests so far at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester. Team India’s record on this ground has not been good. The fourth Test will start on this ground from July 23. According to Indian time, the match will start at 3:30 pm.

India lost by 22 runs in Lord’s Test. With this, England has taken a 2–1 lead in the series. Team India had a target of 193 runs, Ravindra Jadeja stayed at the crease till the end, but he could not get the support of other players in batting. Jadeja fought like a warrior scored 61 runs. Even after falling 7 wickets for 82 runs, Team India remained in the match, whose entire contribution goes to Jadeja. Still how Team India lost? Know here about the three biggest villains of India’s defeat in Lord’s Test.

1. Yashasvi Jaiswal failed in Lord’s exam

Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal had so far scored 220 runs in four innings of the series, including a century and a half-century. Now it was the turn of Lord’s Test, where the pitch is known to test good batsmen. Jaiswal is failing in this exam because he was able to score just 13 runs in both innings of Lord’s Test. Due to his non -running, there was pressure on other Indian batsmen.

2. Big Blunder on Night Watchman

On the fourth day, England’s second innings ended for 192 runs. Lord’s pitch had become difficult to bat, India had fallen 4 wickets till the fourth day. In fact, after falling three wickets, Team India sent Akashdeep to bat as a night watchman, which became clean bold in the last over of the day. Sending night watchmen was the evidence that Team India has come into defensive mode. At the end of the fourth day, Rishabh Pant, Nitish Kumar Reddy or Washington Sundar could also be sent for batting. On the fourth day, the England bowlers were completely dominating the match, India should have sent a batsman to bat to attack the counter.

3. Captain Shubman Gill seen under pressure

It is a fact that the team whose captain is full of confidence, other players of that team also start to look full of confidence. But in Lord’s Test, captain Shubman Gill appeared under pressure, who scored just 22 runs in both innings. In the second innings, Gill faced 9 balls, in which he beat more than half the balls.

However, it is not at all that India stands at the threshold of victory, because England can also win this match.

India scored 58 runs in the second innings, but have also lost 4 wickets. India still need 135 runs to win and 6 wickets are in hand. After the fourth day’s play was over, Washington was associated with beautiful Sky Sports Cricket. He was accompanied by Kumar Sangakkara and Nasir Hussain. When Sundar was asked about the match, he said, “Of course we will win tomorrow.” On this, he was jokingly asked how long you will win the fifth day so that we can book our cabs.

Washington Sundar said, “Of course we will win tomorrow. Perhaps we will win after lunch. It would have been better if we had a stump on one wicket, but the way our fast bowlers made pressure today, he was wonderful bowling. When it started in the morning, we were hopeful that we were hopeful with a hard ball, the way Siraj bowled, Akash Deep took the wicket of Harry Brahm, he was good.”
