In the third Test match between India and England at Lord’s Test, such a drama happened that everyone was surprised.
The shocking thing is that Indian captain Shubman Gill and fast bowler Mohammad Siraj clashed with the on-field umpire over changing the ball. All this happened in the 91st over of England’s innings, when the Indian team questioned the condition of the new ball.
The thing was that the ball was only 10 overs old, but the Indian players felt that it was not fine. The umpire did the hoop test and the ball failed, so it was replaced.
But after seeing the new ball, Gill and Siraj’s anger reached the seventh sky, Gill had a heated argument with the umpire, then Siraj shouted on the stump mic, “Is this a 10-over old ball? Really?” Hearing this, the fans burst out laughing!
A user on X shared a video of this moment, in which the heat between Gill and Siraj was clearly visible.

By the way, in the midst of this drama, Jasprit Bumrah showed amazing performance. Early in the morning on the second day, he bowled England captain Ben Stokes (44). Then he put England on the backfoot by sending Joe Root (104) and Chris Woakes (0) to the pavilion.
England’s score went from 260/4 to 271/7. But KL Rahul dropped an easy catch of Jamie Smith, otherwise the score could have gone down further.
Shubman Gill is scoring a lot of runs in this series. He scored 585 runs in four innings, that too with a great average of 146.25. This includes three centuries.
India won by 336 runs in the Edgbaston Test thanks to his 269 and 161 runs. This time Gill is eyeing a big score at Lord’s too.
England won the first Test at Headingley by chasing 371 runs, but India made a strong comeback in the second Test.
Now the third Test is at an exciting turn. Josh Tongue has been dropped from England’s side and Jofra Archer has been brought in, who can wreak havoc with the ball.
