Stopping a heart, India National Cricket Team captain Shubman Gill gave a bad shock from a fierce distribution by Ben Stokes, which sent shockwaves through both camps at 5 camps on the day of the ongoing fourth Test match between India and England at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground in Manchester.
The incident came out on the first ball of India’s 73rd innings. Facing Ben Stokes, Shubman Gill was killed by a fierce lifter, engulving on a good length. The ball exploded from the top of his thumb and on the edge of his helmet, which was just inches away from crashing on the stump.

Shubman Gill survived LBW Blow because Ben Stokes fights for pain in 5 days
Meanwhile, Shubman Gill refrained from exiting the important phase of the match in the same over in Manchester. Stokes was very low in a difficult delivery, and Gill managed to block it from under his bat. If he had missed, he would definitely have been LBW.
After delivery, Stokes was seen holding their left hamstring and pressing their shoulders, which showed signs of discomfort. He has been watching pain since the beginning of the day 5, but the captain bowled to ensure that India remained under pressure in the ongoing fourth test.

Mind game begins in Manchester because Harry Brook tried to ignore Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar
On the other hand, things became hot on the field as England batsman Harry Brook tried to play a mind game with Indian batsmen Shubman Gill and Washington Sundar at a day 5 at the Old Trafford Cricket Ground. All this started when Gill did not take an easy single for midwicket.
Brooke, standing in the slip, quickly started teasing Gill, “Swapping now ends, Shabar!” Suggesting that the right -handed batsman James did not want to face a tough delivery from Anderson End, where the ball was jumping strangely.
Brooke did not stop there, as he then turned to Sundar and reminded him that the fast bowler Joffra Archer was soon to bowl, clearly trying to bother him. Meanwhile, Oli also joined with Pope Brook, Sundar threw some words after the beautiful shot and found only one.
The England players were working hard to move the Indian batsmen with their words. But with a lot at stake, Gill and Beautiful have tried to focus calm and focus between the nonsense, as they are aiming to tire to the English bowler, so that there is no possibility of attracting the manchester test.
