Therefore, taking his wicket was very important. During this time the master stroke of captain Gill came in handy.

The second over in England’s innings was putting Siraj. Siraj wanted to change the field, but Gill said that it is not like a pitch of leads. This is different from that. Gill asked him to put a normal outswing ball with the same field. The work that has been done.

Gill said to Siraj, “There will be a catch, in the last too. Siraj obeyed Gill. After this, an outswing ball was put from the off stump and went to the Crowery to drive and his bat hit the edge and the ball went straight to Sai Sudarshan’s hands standing on the point.
