Former Team India cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar slammed Shubman Gill for his captaincy during 3 (Friday, 25 July) on the fourth Test against England. The commentator said that there was no proper reason for not bringing off-spinner Washington beautiful in the first innings in England’s first innings.
England resumed Oli Pope and Joe Root at the crease at 225/2. The home team ended the day at 544/7 with a lead of 186 runs in India. However, Gill’s decision to delay Washington Sundar’s introduction criticized, as the Indian seams were unable to break the pace of England.
