Ind vs eng 1st test: After Gautam Gambhir became the head coach, the Indian cricket team has not been able to do well in Test cricket, the same situation was seen in the first Test against England. This is the 7th defeat of Team India in the last 9 Tests. In this Test held in Leeds, the top -order batsmen performed amazing, although bad fielding, bowling and lower -order batsmen to be shattered became the reason for this defeat. Head coach Gautam Gambhir himself came in the post match press conference (Gautam Gambhir Post Match Press Conference), know what he said.

In the press conference, Gautam Gambhir said, “Except for Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj, Indian fast bowlers do not have much experience. The famous Krishna has played 4 Tests, Harshit Rana 2 and Arshdeep Singh have not played a single test yet. It does not matter in ODIs but in countries like England and Australia, it is like throwing them in the sea in countries like England and Australia.

Famous Krishna will be better with experience

The famous Krishna undoubtedly took 5 wickets in both innings, but also looted the runs. In both innings, he gave runs from an economy of more than 6. Gautam Gambhir defended him, saying, “I felt that the famous is a very good bowler, he really bowled very well. He also took important wickets. We chose him because we felt something different in him, he gets a boom. He gets a boom in the first innings. He made a very good use of boom in the first innings. He will get better with experience. He has all the qualities to become a good Test bowler. He gave us two important wickets.”

The world’s finest fielders also leave catch

In this test, Yashasvi Jaiswal left 4 catches alone, which became a reason for defeat. The fielding level was very poor. On this, Head Coach Gautam Gambhir said in the press conference, “The world’s best fielders also leave the catch. Nobody deliberately leaves. It was disappointing in terms of batting because we had lost 7 wickets for 41 runs in the first innings and 6 wickets for 31 in the second innings.

Gambhir also said on Shubman Gill’s coaching

Gautam Gambhir said about Shubman Gill that he should be given time as a captain. The head coach also praised Gill’s batting, who scored a century in the first innings. However, after this he said that whether it is a youth team or experienced, every defeat is bad. He said, “Every defeat is bad, it does not matter whether the team is experienced or youth. It is not an excuse for defeat because we are representing 140 crore Indian people.”

Ravindra jadeja vs shardul thakur: India vs England were completely in the name of England, the fifth day of the first Test (Ind vs Eng 1st Test Day 5), Shardul Thakur had taken life in the match with 2 wickets (Ben Docket and Harry Brook) off 2 consecutive balls, but after that nothing went in favor of the team. On the fifth day, Thakur argued with Ravindra Jadeja.

On the fifth day Ben Docket and Jack Croly, England carried forward, England needed 350 runs to win and 10 wickets were in hand. India’s fielding remained bad for the fifth day, Yashasvi Jaiswal left the catch of Ben Docket when he was playing for 97 runs, after which he played a match of 149 runs. Shardul Thakur dismissed Harry Brook on the next ball after dismissing Docket in the 54th over, who scored 99 runs in the first innings. After this, Ravindra Jadeja also got the first success, he dismissed Ben Stokes.

Why Shardul Thakur and Ravindra Jadeja clashed among themselves

After Brook’s dismissal, the match became exciting, now the route who was the experienced batsman and India could strengthen the match in the match with their wickets. Meanwhile, Root played a shot in Ravindra Jadeja’s over, which went towards mid -wicket. Shardul, standing at mid on, reached the ball but left the ball, where 1 run should have been received, there were 3 runs.

After missing the ball, Shardul sat there, after some time he ran back to catch the ball. If he had left the ball back to catch him back, then at most 2 runs. On this, Ravindra Jadeja got angry with him, he shouted and said something to him and Shardul also replied. He said that my leg had slipped, I had fallen. Looking at the screen, it seemed that Jadeja told Shardul that even if he slipped, he would hold the ball back quickly.

Jadeja Caught Abusing Lord Shardul.

There was slippery in the ground after rain

On the fifth day of the India vs England Test, Karun Nair also left a ball, which was surprised. The replay showed that the ball jumped shortly before Nair came into his hand. One such Missfield was also done by Rishabh Pant. There was also slippery on the ground due to rain.

IND vs Eng 1st Test Turning Point: Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Indian cricket team could win in the leads, over the last day overcast condition was in favor of the Indian bowlers but could not take advantage of it. Ben Docket played a brilliant innings of 149 runs, for which he was adjudged Player of the Match. Two main bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj did not get any wickets. But we are telling you about that 1 second mistake, which had not happened, perhaps the result would have been something else.

India’s batsmen created history in the leads, the first time it was when 5 centuries have come in India’s innings. In the first innings, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant had a century. In the second innings, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul had scored a century. However, the lower -order batsmen disappointed, due to which India could not set a big target. In the second innings, India’s last 6 wickets fell within just 31 runs.

On the last day of the Leeds Test, England had to score 350 runs to win, which was not easy in overcast condition. India needed 10 wickets to win, but the bowlers were unsuccessful and they did not get the support of the fielders either.

What was the turning point

Ben Docket and Jack Crolye shared a 188 -run partnership for the first wicket, after which Docket played a match -winning innings of 149 runs. But it would not have happened if Yashasvi Jaiswal would have catch the catch. Yes, Ducchk was playing on the score of 97, then he played a big shot off Mohammad Siraj. The ball went into the air and also reached the ball and reached the ball. He further went to catch catch by diving, the ball also came in his hand but got shocking. Siraj was also very angry at this.

When Yashasvi Jaiswal left the catch, England still needed 200 runs to win. In such a situation, if he had caught the catch, then the result of the match could have been something else. Because after this Ben Docket added 52 more runs.

One of the reasons for defeat in the Leeds Test was also India’s poor fielding, Yashasvi Jaiswal left 4 catches alone. Many Miss Fields were also made from other players. A catch was also missed from the famous Krishna, wicket -keeper Rishabh Pant also lost some opportunities.
