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.

By the end of the fourth day play in the Lord’s Test, India has scored 58 runs at the loss of 4 wickets. Team India still need 135 runs to win the match. On the third day, England’s second innings was reduced to 192 runs, after which India got a target of 193 runs. On the fourth day, KL Rahul has been standing at the crease by scoring 33 runs for stumps and Akashdeep, who came to play as a night watchman, is supporting him.

On the third day, England scored 2 runs in one over till the stumps. On the fourth day, England carried out their innings, then the Indian bowler broke havoc on the England batsmen. When Ben Docket was dismissed for 12 runs, Mohammad Siraj, who was celebrating the wicket in Josh, collided with the shoulder docket. There has been a lot of ruckus on this incident. Joe Root was the top scorer of England, whose bat scored 40 runs. At the same time, captain Ben Stokes contributed 33 runs and took his team to the score of 192.

India still needs 135 runs

By the fourth day, the pitch of Lord’s ground has become very difficult to bat. In the second innings, Yashasvi Jaiswal could not even open the account. Karun Nair stayed at the crease for some time, but he returned to the pavilion after scoring 14 runs, losing the second wicket on a score of 41. Captain Shubman Gill, who scored a century in both innings of the last match, was dismissed for just 6 runs.

On the fourth day, India sent Akashdeep to bat as a night watchman for fear of losing the wicket of a batsman. Akashdeep saved his wicket for 10 balls, but in the last over of the day, Ben Stokes became clean bold. Now on the fifth day, India will have to score 135 runs to win and there are only 6 wickets left in its hand. Team India will expect KL Rahul, who is unbeaten by scoring 33 runs. Rishabh Pant, Nitish Kumar Reddy, Ravindra Jadeja, Washington Sundar, Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj are yet to come to the Indian batting line-up.
