Not Proud Of It, But England’s Time Wasting Tactics Were Not In The Spirit Of The Game: Gill
Shubman Gill: India skipper Shubman Gill cleared the air on the incident between him and England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, claiming their tactics to ensure only one over was bowled at the end of Day 3, was not in the spirit of the game.
After India matched England’s first-innings total of 387, they hoped to sneak in two quick overs in the final six minutes of the day. But those plans were thwarted as Zak Crawley took his time by pulling out of two deliveries during Jasprit Bumrah's run-up and calling the physio for a hand injury, leading to a fiery confrontation between Gill and the two openers.
“Let me clear the air. We had seven minutes of play left, the English batters were 90 seconds late to bat. Not 10,20 but 90. Yes, we would have also liked to bat less in the same situation but there is a manner to do it. I feel what happened was not in the spirit of the game.
