“Determined Not To Lose My Wicket To LBW”: Shubman Gill After Match-Winning 50

Published by Webster

Shubman Gill said on Monday he had planned not to lose his wicket to an lbw decision come what may, despite the odd ball keeping low and turning sharply during the fourth Test against England, which India won by five wickets. Gill scored an unbeaten 52 in the second innings and shared a 72-run stand with wicketkeeper-batter Dhruv Jurel to guide India from a precarious 120/5 to victory without losing any more wickets. “I had a plan for the off-spinners — I planned that I am going to the keep the LBW out of the game. I have always played off-spinners stepping down the wicket and in this game, I just had to execute that and just be calm and not be too tentative playing the off-spinners,” said Gill to JioCinema following the hard-fought win, which gave the hosts an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-Test series. Gill indicated there were no demons in the wicket and it was “good” for batting. “I think when you are playing on a wicket like this, …

India vs England: “Technology Got It Wrong”, Ben Stokes’ Explosive Take On Zak Crawley LBW Row

Published by Webster

England captain Ben Stokes on Monday felt his opening batter Zak Crawley was at the receiving end of a ‘wrong’ DRS call for an LBW, after going down against India in the second Test. Crawley was England’s best batter in the game, scoring 76 and 73 in his two innings. On day four, he blended caution with aggression to put the Indian bowlers under pressure before being adjudged LBW off Kuldeep Yadav in a close DRS call before lunch. On the sixth ball of his first over, Kuldeep got one to turn back in from middle stump. It seemed the ball was going down leg but DRS showed that it was hitting the leg-stump. Stokes did not seem to agree with the DRS call. “Technology in the game is obviously there. Everyone has an understanding of the reasons it can never be 100% which is why we have the umpire’s call. That’s why it’s in place. When it’s not 100% as everyone says, I don’t think it’s unfair for someone to say ‘I …

‘It looked like a dead lbw’: Ben Duckett on Shubman Gill surviving a close call | Cricket News

Published by Webster

England opener Ben Duckett says Shubman Gill surviving a close call looked like a “dead lbw” and still believes that if they can take wickets in cluster to put India on the back foot. “It feels like a tricky pitch to start on,” he told reporters. “Shubman (Gill) there, we could have had him. It looked like a dead lbw (when he was struck on the pad by Tom Hartley) and somehow, it’s bouncing over the stumps. It’s one of those things. “We’ll stick to our mantra and that’s taking wickets and looking to be positive. Hopefully, that will happen for us as well.” India will resume from 119 for 1 on Day 2 and Yashasvi Jaiswal’s attacking gameplan has taken England by surprise but with pitch deteriorating quickly, England are still in the match. “You have to pay credit to them… they played really well and were very attacking, which is positive,” he said. “They don’t always go about it like that, so to go about it that way shows that they probably think …

India began their campaign in the three-match ODI series on a string note against Sri Lanka. Openers Rohit Sharma and Shubman Gill hit half-centuries as India cruised. For India skipper Rohit Sharma, it was his 47th ODI half-century while for Gill it was the fifth in the format. However, Rohit could have been out five runs shy of the 50-run mark. When Rohit was batting on 45, Sri Lanka decided to go for a DRS call against the batter for a LBW call off Wanindu Hasaranga’s googly  on the fifth ball of the 11th over.

Published by Webster

India ended the Day 3 of the ongoing first Test against Bangladesh in a dominating position as they set Bangladesh a 513-run target to win the match. The hosts scored 42/0 and still need 471 runs more to win. The KL Rahul-led side brutally thrashed Bangladesh bowlers as they declared at the score of 258/2 and took a lead by 512 runs. The major contributions were from Shubman Gill and Cheteshwar Pujara, who smashed their respective tons and kept the momentum towards the Indian side. However, the third day also had a moment of controversy after Gill survived an LBW appeal due to a technical glitch. In the 32nd over of India’s second innings, Yasir Ali struck Gill on the pads on the first delivery and a big appeal was made by the Bangladesh fielders. However, the on-field umpire declared Gill as not out as the ball was pitching outside the off stump. Skipper Shakib Al-Hasan disagreed with the decision and demanded for a DRS review. But fate had other plans in store as Bangladesh could not …
