'Rishabh Pant made the call. Was an error...': Shubman Gill says 'KL Rahul was in danger' in 'turning point' at Lord's
The Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy between India and England is living up to the hype, and the five-match series is going down to the wire. The Lord's Test turned out to be a cracking contest as England went 2-1 up by registering a 22-run win at the home of cricket on Monday. After the loss in London, India captain Shubman Gill admitted that Rishabh Pant's run-out in the first innings turned out to be a game-changing moment. Shubman Gill said Rishabh Pant's run-out in the first innings turned out to be the game-changing moment in the Lord's Test. (PTI) In the first innings, KL Rahul and Rishabh Pant were performing well, and India looked set to take a lead. However, on the cusp of the lunch break on Day 3, Rishabh Pant ran himself out as he tried to bring KL Rahul back on strike so that the latter could complete his century. A rocket throw from Ben Stokes at the non-striker's end caught Rishabh Pant short of the crease, and the left-hander walked back to the hut after scoring 74 runs off 112 balls with the help of eight fours and two sixes. Pant and Rahul put on 141 runs for the fourth wicket, but the run-out paved the way for England to sneak through the back door. Gill refused to pin the blame on KL Rahul, saying it was Rishabh Pant who made the call and asked the right-hander to charge for a run.

But I think it was more an error in judgment rather than someone thinking about their 100. KL Rahul might have told Rishabh 'It would be good if I complete my 100 before lunch. The batter feels the pressure when he is batting on 99. But I wouldn't say Rishabh Pant got out because of the personal milestone of KL Rahul," Gill told reporters. "It was an error of judgment. Rishabh made the call. The danger end was KL Bhai. I would say it was an error of judgment. It can happen to any batter," he added. Fitness update on Rishabh Pant There is also an injury scare surrounding Rishabh Pant after the wicketkeeper got hit on his hand while trying to collect a Jasprit Bumrah delivery. He then didn't do wicketkeeping in the remaining first and second innings. Dhruv Jurel came in as a substitute wicketkeeper, and he donned the gloves for India. However, Gill said there is nothing to worry about as Pant should be fit in time for the fourth Test in Manchester. 'Rishabh did go for the scans. There is nothing major there, so I think he should be fine for the next Test,' said Gill. Speaking of the Lord's Test between India and England, nothing separated the two teams after the first innings, as both sides posted 387 runs on the board. Washington Sundar then returned with four wickets in the second innings as India bundled out England for 192. However, India fell 22 runs short as they failed to chase 193. India were reduced to 112/8 at one stage in the final innings, but Ravindra Jadeja (61*) put in a valiant effort with Jasprit Bumrah and Mohammed Siraj.

IND vs ENG 3rd Test: ‘I told him...' – Jofra Archer reveals what he told Rishabh Pant
England bowler Jofra Archer celebrates with Ben Stokes (Photo by) England fast bowler Jofra Archer marked his return to test cricket after 4.5 years with a match-winning performance against India at Lord's on Monday, taking five wickets to help secure a 22-run victory and 2-1 series lead. The performance came exactly six years after Archer helped England win their first Cricket World Cup at the same venue. Archer made an immediate impact on the final day, removing Rishabh Pant 's off stump and taking a one-handed caught-and-bowled to dismiss Washington Sundar early in the morning session. Working with captain Ben Stokes , Archer helped reduce India from their overnight score of 58-4 to 82-7 in the first 40 minutes. India, chasing 193, was eventually bowled out for 170. "Yeah, part of the reason I went with Jof this morning ... six years ago now to the day," said Stokes. "He played a major role, and I had a feeling he'd do something special and crack the game open."

Archer consistently troubled the Indian batsmen with speeds reaching 90 mph (145 kph), though Stokes managed his workload carefully with five-over spells spaced well apart. "I had a gut feeling that Jof's going to do something in his first game back," Stokes said. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Our one of a kind Patented Cold Water Extraction Process Superior Ginseng Undo "Every time he's announced on the tannoy, the ground erupts, and when the speeds go up on the screen, the feeling changes." The careful management of his bowling spells frustrated Archer, but he understood the precaution given his history of elbow and back injuries. "It was pretty hectic, for the first game back," Archer told Sky Sports. "I probably bowled a few more overs than I thought I would've but every single one mattered today so I'm not too fussed about it. Only played one test at Lord's and that one was just as special as this one. It's been a long time coming, a lot of rehab, a lot of training. But moments like this make it worth it." Archer remained confident about his return to test cricket despite his last test being in February 2021 in Ahmedabad and his previous home test in August 2020. "I'm not totally out of the woods yet but it's a good start," he said. "The style of cricket that this team plays, it means I'm going to bowl a lot of overs!" Poll Do you believe Jofra Archer is back to his best form? Yes, he's back! Not yet, but close No, he needs more time The match was marked by verbal exchanges, particularly after Archer dismissed Pant and Sundar. "We came together as a group yesterday and said, you know, sometimes we're too nice. We go to other places and some teams are not as nice to us as we are to them so I guess we just tried to shift it. I don't know if it gave us a bit more of a buzz in the field or not but we will keep it in the bank for the future!" Regarding his exchange with Pant, Archer said: "It wasn't a proud moment. I just told him to cherish that moment. He came down the track and that annoyed me a little bit so when the ball nipped down the slope, I was so grateful." "Managing the workload is still very hard, being told you can bowl some days and not others," Archer added about his ongoing recovery process.
