Ind vs eng 1st test: Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, India started the Leeds Test in a brilliant way. Yashasvi Jaiswal, Rishabh Pant and Captain Gill scored centuries. There were 2 centuries in the second innings as well and for the first time when there were 5 centuries in the Indian innings in a Test, but despite this India lost the match. Know who should be 7 guilty of India’s defeat in the Leeds Test.

Karun Nair could not take advantage of the opportunity

Karun Nair, who was returning to international cricket after 8 years, had high expectations. He could not even open an account in the first innings, but failed in the second innings as well. He scored just 20 runs in the second innings.

Famous Krishna proved expensive

The famous Krishna took a total of 5 wickets in both innings, but also took more runs and also made a shameful record. He became the first bowler for India after putting at least 20 overs in an innings to spend more than 6 runs per over. In the first innings, he conceded 128 runs from an economy of 6.40 in 20 overs. In the second innings, the famous innings conceded 92 runs from an economy of 6.13 in 15 overs.

Yashasvi Jaiswal left 4 catches

Opener Yashasvi Jaiswal definitely scored a century in the first innings, but by the end of the match, he also became a big reason for the defeat. Actually, he left 4 catches, in the second innings, he left Ben Docket’s catch at an important time. If Jaiswal had caught that catch, the situation would have been different.

Ravindra Jadeja remains ineffective

Ravindra Jadeja was the only all -rounder and only spinner bowler in the Indian playing 11, he was given attention above Kuldeep Yadav. Jadeja was also the most experienced in this playing 11, but he could not do anything special. In the first innings, he scored just 11 runs and spending 68 runs in 23 overs. In the second innings, he was not out at 25 and took 1 wicket in 24 overs, carrying 104 runs.

Shardul Thakur also failed

Lord Shardul Thakur had made a comeback with 2 consecutive wickets in the second innings, but apart from that he could not do anything special in the entire match. In the first innings, he conceded 38 runs in 6 overs, he failed completely with the bat. He was dismissed by scoring 1 in the first innings and 4 runs in the second innings.

No help was received from Mohammad Siraj

Mohammad Siraj was the second most important bowler in this playing 11 with Jasprit Bumrah, but he could not perform as expected. Siraj conceded 51 runs in the second innings, while no one could take wickets. Although Yashasvi had left the catch of Ben Docket on his own ball, otherwise the situation could have been something else. In the first innings, he conceded 122 runs from an economy of 4.52.

Sai Sudarshan failed in debut

India started well in the first innings, KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal added 91 runs for the first wicket. But even after this, Sai Sudarshan was dismissed for zero in the debut innings. Even in the second innings, he was able to score only 30 runs.

Reasons why India Lost First Test: England defeated the Indian team by 5 wickets in the first Test match. In this match, the batsmen of both teams scored 7 centuries and three half -centuries in total and a total of 1,673 runs in the match. It was playing the first Test match India under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, but he has proved to be a failure in the first exam. After all, which were the 3 biggest reasons, which overshadowed Team India in the Leeds Test.

1. India lost 13 wickets within 72 runs

One of the main reasons for India’s defeat, the lower order was the absence of batting. In the first innings, Team India once scored 430 runs at the loss of just 3 wickets. Within the next 41 runs, the Indian team lost the remaining 7 wickets. At the same time, when the second innings came, the lower order flopped badly. In the second innings, Team India had scored 333 runs at the loss of 5 wickets at one time, but within the next 31 runs, the remaining 5 wickets also fell. In this way, the Indian team lost 13 wickets within just 72 runs.

2. India left countless catch

Bad fielding also became a major reason for Team India’s defeat in the Leeds Test. Team India left countless catches in this match, alone Yashasvi Jaiswal has left 4 catches in this match. In the first innings, Harry Brook was caught on a score of zero. As a result of leaving this catch, he was dismissed after scoring 99 runs. If the brook was out early, India could have gained a big lead instead of 6 runs in the first innings. In the second innings, Jaiswal left a catch of docket on a score of 97. Had he got out on that important occasion, the entire match could have been overturned.

3. Bad fielding in fourth innings

In the fourth innings, Team India had set a target of 371 runs in front of England. By the end of the fourth day, England scored 21 runs without losing wickets. In such a situation, 350 more runs were to be scored on the fifth day. The score of 350+ was successfully chased only 2 times in the history of Leeds ground. On the fifth day, it is a big thing to chase 350+ score, meanwhile Ben Docket and Jack Croly were set. His 188 -run salute partnership was weakening India’s possibility of victory. In such a situation, captain Gill should have tried to open the fielding and turn to the match. England hit 44 fours and 3 sixes in the fourth innings.
