NEW DELHI: Former India batter Sanjay Manjrekar believes that skipper Shubman Gill showing his fiery side while being in a verbal exchange with England opener Zak Crawley didn’t have the right effect on his batting returns in the Lord’s Test, which the tourists’ lost by 22 runs.
The exchange between Gill and Crawley made for a spicy end to day three’s play and England duly gave it back when Gill came out to bat late on day four in a chase of 193. It was a curious stay in the crease for Gill, who never looked settled and was out for six to Brydon Carse.
