2nd Test: Almost Seeing A Little Bit Of The Fear Of Bazball, Says Cook On India’s Batting In Second Innings
Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: Former England captain Sir Alastair Cook believes India became cautious in the back end of their second innings due to the fear of Bazball. On day three, India were comfortably placed at 211-4 in their second innings, with Shubman Gill having made his third Test century.
More importantly, it was Gill’s first hundred as a No.3 batter in Tests, after suffering a lean patch and pressure being there on him to justify his place in the playing XI. But after that, Gill fell as his reverse sweep off Shoaib Bashir took a glove edge to wicketkeeper Ben Foakes.
Axar Patel was trapped lbw by Tom Hartley, while K.S Bharat, in a bid to break the scoring drought, mistimed his pull to wide mid-on off Rehan Ahmed and Kuldeep Yadav top-edged a slog-sweep to mid-wicket off Hartley.
