Star India player furious at Karun Nair for not pointing out the trap set by..., his name is...
New Delhi: Yashasvi Jaiswal's passion and confidence are reflected in his game every time. Jaiswal, who gave a befitting reply to Mitchell Starc during the Australia series, now expressed anger at his own teammate Karun Nair in the Test match against England. During the third day's play, there were two occasions when he scolded Nair, despite Nair being much senior to him in both age and experience. First Incident: Got angry at Nair for missing a field change
When Jaiswal was on 95 runs in the 49th over of India's second innings, England quietly placed a fine third man to trap him on the upper cut. However, Karun Nair, standing at the non-striker's end, did not inform Jaiswal about this fielding change. Jaiswal got angry and scolded Nair on the field. Second Incident: Anger over slowness in running during century attempt
Jaiswal was on 97 runs when he played a brilliant shot and wanted to run three. But Karun Nair didn't respond quickly and settled for two runs. This frustrated Jaiswal again, as he felt his century might be at risk. He scolded Nair loudly once more. Century celebration and end of Karun Nair's slow innings
However, in the very next over, Jaiswal completed his century with a single and celebrated by jumping in the air. Nair's innings didn't last long, as Gus Atkinson dismissed him for just 17 runs off 52 balls — a disappointing performance for the spectators. India's strong comeback, Jurel shines
Jaiswal brought up the team's 250 with a boundary in the 58th over. He was dismissed for 118 in the 65th over. After his dismissal, Dhruv Jurel came in and, along with Ravindra Jadeja, took India past 300. Jurel kept the momentum going by scoring 13 runs in an over bowled by Josh Tongue.

So Many Little Things...: Brendon McCullum Makes Honest Admission After Englands Loss Against India In Oval Test
Brendon McCullum admitted there was 'room to improve' as he reflected on England's gripping 2-2 Test series draw against India and turned his sights towards sharpening the squad ahead of the Ashes later this year. The England head coach, speaking after a dramatic six-run defeat at The Oval that saw India level the series on the final day, praised his team's fight while acknowledging the narrow margins that denied them their first series win over India since 2018. In a breathtaking finish to the fifth and final Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy, India completed a comeback from 2-1 down, snatching victory in just 56 minutes on the 25th morning—marking their narrowest ever win by runs in Test cricket. England's pursuit of a 374-run target unravelled from a dominant 301/3 to a dismal 367 all out, losing 7 wickets for just 66 runs in a collapse that ultimately cost them the series. 'We'll let this one sit, we'll digest it,' McCullum was quoted by ESPNCricinfo as saying. 'We'll be able to pick out what has gone well, then start to work out how we can keep improving so, when we do arrive out in Australia, we give ourselves a huge chance.' The former New Zealand captain stressed that England's journey under his and Ben Stokes' leadership is still very much a work in progress. With no Test matches until the Ashes opener in Perth this November, McCullum now has time to assess the highs and lows of a compelling summer. 'We're in the middle now, halfway through what we knew was going to be an unbelievable 12 months of Test cricket. We know we've got some room to improve,' he said. 'You're always learning any time you get to see guys having to dig deep and go to places they've maybe not been before. There's a lot to pick out as we give ourselves time for this to digest and work out areas we can look to improve for our next challenge.' England's fielding, particularly in the fifth Test, came under scrutiny. They dropped six catches during India's second innings of 396, mistakes that McCullum admitted proved costly. 'We didn't catch very well in this game, but have caught really well over the last few years,' he conceded. 'Sometimes dropped catches happen, and one leads to another. If we had held our catches, maybe we would have been standing on the other side of the result. That's life, there are so many little things in the game we could pick out and have huge impacts. We are a good fielding unit and had a bit of an average performance in this Test.' Despite the disappointment of missing out on a series win, McCullum was full of praise for his players' commitment and India's resilience, especially that of fast bowler Mohammed Siraj. 'Ultimately, I'm really proud of the guys and their efforts,' he said. 'It's been a combative series; it's taken its toll with injuries, and some of the best players have gone home injured. To sit here at 2-2, yes, you're disappointed, but you're proud of the efforts. 'The way India were late on in this Test, Mohammed Siraj has the absolute heart of a lion to bowl 90mph in his 30th over of his fifth Test match. It's quite an incredible effort.' McCullum admitted England had opportunities to close out the series but was reluctant to dwell on them, instead crediting India for seizing the crucial moments. 'We threw everything at them. It was a testament to how stoic they are as a team. We knew when they turned up in England, it would be a very stern challenge and we'd have to play excellent cricket to get the result we wanted. 'Ultimately, I thought it was an absolutely unbelievable series to be part of. It had confrontation, it had stalemates, it had passion, and it had some sub-par performances under pressure as well. 'As much as we got ourselves in a winning position this Test match, I feel like they deserved to win. They played better cricket,' he added.

A young Indian team travelled to England light but returned heavy with wins, lessons & a captain for the future
The irony is palpable. When India embarked on their tour of England without Virat Kohli, Rohit Sharma and R Ashwin — three of their modern giants — with the news that Jasprit Bumrah would play only three of the five Tests and with Shubman Gill leading the Test team for the first time, expectations were suitably lowered. When a team is in transition — and it is fair to say that, save for Mohammad Siraj, the fastbowling unit lacked experience — a steep learning curve is to be expected. Add to the mix B Sai Sudarshan, Karun Nair, Washington Sundar and Dhruv Jurel, who had little to no Test experience, and a five-Test series away in England quickly became a daunting assignment. So much so that an advert did the rounds to catch the eye: 'Team India seekhne nahi, sikhane jaa rahi hai.' And so it panned out. This team was not there to learn, but to school the sceptics on what was about Gill the captain, of whom little was known beyond his white-ball exploits, there were enough questions around Gill the batsman. After all, an average in the low 30s was not something he could be proud of after being given the run he had. The talent and ability were clearly there, and the selectors were sitting on Gill for the long haul. Gill delivered in style. For some players, added responsibility comes with an opportunity to be themselves, to express themselves more fully. As Gill scored his (and the team's) runs, he ensured that he had the authority he needed to get the most out of his band of men. Tactically, Gill was far from perfect. There were times when he let the game drift, and his tendency to rely heavily on the quick bowlers, conditions notwithstanding, meant that the class of Ravindra Jadeja sometimes went underutilised with the ball. Gill was neither Kohli-aggressive nor Rohit-relaxed. He was his own man, being different things at different times. It's early days, but on the evidence so far, India won't be looking for another all-format captain for a very long time to home, Jadeja has been the answer to all of India's balance questions. He runs through opposition batting when there is assistance, can keep one end bottled up if his captain needs control, and contribute properly with the bat lower down the order. But, overseas, there was the nagging feeling that his bowling could be blunted by conditions and his batting wouldn't stand up consistently enough. With a hundred and five half-centuries, Jadeja laid to rest any doubts about his place in the scheme of things. He may be getting along in years, but he has never been more valuable to the Test set-up than there are selections that buck conventional wisdom, the question of who had the final say arises. Gautam Gambhir, the coach, is a strong-willed character, and while it did appear as though Gill was given a free hand on the field, there was the suggestion that Gambhir imposed himself on the selection of the playing eleven. Had the result gone another way, on the back of a string of losses, these doubts would've grown louder. But, with India winning two Tests by picking teams that seemed to defy both playing to strengths or an all-out push for 20 wickets, it became clear that the coach's belief in his squad's depth and ability to compete at the highest level was spot on. Gambhir will know that it won't always be so. And fans will still be left asking how India went five Tests without giving Kuldeep Yadav a look there was one chink that was woefully exposed in England, it was the challenge that has dogged India for the longest time. With Nitish Kumar Reddy injured, there was no other batsman capable of contributing 12- 15 overs of seam up in an innings. India have backups for most roles, but when it comes to seamers who can bat, or batsmen who can allow the primary fast bowlers a breather, the cupboard is as bare as ever. This meant bolstering the lower order with Shardul Thakur, something that did not pay off even on paper, given how little he was used with the ball. Going forward, Gill, with help from the coaching staff, will have to identify either a player or two who can fit the bill, or three different combinations that allow them to stay in the hunt for 20 wickets without leaving the tail an exceptionally long one
