Spirit of sports line: Dinesh Karthik defended Shubman Gill, closed Nasar Hussain – ‘The issue was …’. Cricket news

On the eve of the fourth Test match of the ongoing Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, Shubman Gill questioned England’s “Spirit of the Game” after late at the crease in 3 days of the Lord’s Test. “Yes, many people are talking about it, so let me clean the air for all once and all. The English batsmen had a seven -minute game left that day; they were 90 seconds late to come to the crease – not 10, not 20 seconds,” Gill said. “Yes, most teams use this (delay strategy); even though we were in the same position, we would also like to play less over. But there is a way to do so, and we felt that if you get hit on your body, the physio is allowed to come, and this is something that is appropriate. He said, “But there is nothing to be able to get 90 seconds late at the crease that I think comes under the spirit of the game,” he said.

On the early day of the fourth Test match, commenting, former England captain Nasir Hussain questioned Gill for his comments at the press conference, saying that India will do the same thing even today and would not want to face additional overs. Hussain was referring to India’s all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja, who was asking the on-field umpire about Roshni.

Dinesh Karthik immediately fixed Hussain without wasting at any time and said: “Gill said that his issue was with walking outside England after 90 seconds, not what he did during the over.” Dinesh Karthik also said that he is in love with Shubman Gill’s perspective to captain India in the ongoing test series against England and said that it is fine to establish a distinct identity as a side captain. “I have really enjoyed it as a captain so far. On the field, I think he is improving, but out of the field is the place where I am the most impressed. I think yesterday’s press conference was absolutely box office – apparently, it was calm only until the last question was asked why things have become a little spicy, and he said, ‘Look, England went 90 seconds late and we don’t appreciate it,’ and I like it. , “It is good to be feisty. You need to have an identity as a captain, and from that third day Shubman Gill is actually shown in Lord’s that he has found a lot of aggression in him – and that he wants to lead this Indian team. Yes, the result is that it is ready for a thrilling test series, and his captaincy is made correctly.” Karthik on the broadcast of Sky Sports.
