IND vs ENG: Shubman Gill criticized, Ben Stokes fires up crowd after dismissing India captain in Manchester
Ben Stokes dismissing Shubman Gill in 4th Test at Manchester. (PIC - X) New Delhi: Shubman Gill had not had a good day on the first day of the fourth Test against England at Manchester on Wednesday. England sent back a well-set opening duo of KL Rahul and Yashasvi Jaiswal before sending back Shubman Gill to reduce India to three down for 149 at tea on the first day of the fourth Test on Wednesday. What happened in the match? Sai Sudharsan (26) and Rishabh Pant (3) were at the crease during the second break of the day. England, who did not receive a wicket during the morning session, finally managed to send one back just after lunch as Chris Woakes finally received his reward for working his heart out bowling in the off-stump channel. He caught Rahul (46 off 98) at third slip off a ball that seamed away from length. What did Shubman Gill do before? Following a very intense third Test, in which Shubman Gill had goaded the England team with some aggressive gestures and banter, the eyes were on the India captain. The fact that he had also informed England players that they were not adhering to the 'Spirit of the Game' during the third Test made the game spicier. How was the Indian captain dismissed? India captain Gill (12) did not last long as he had underestimated an incoming delivery from Stokes. He did not even attempt a shot, and was caught in front. Ben Stokes celebrated in a very aggressive way. At the same time, the English crowd present at Old Trafford booed Gill as well. England Fans often pride themselves on their passion for the game, but their unethical behaviour by disrespecting players from other countries is unacceptable. Booing Shubman Gill was not just unsporting—it was disgraceful and reflects poorly on the spirit of the game.' — Crictale_Yash (@JaisFanForever) July 23, 2025 Shubman Gill is welcomed by a round of boos around the ground in Manchester. — Himanshu Pareek (@Sports_Himanshu) July 23, 2025

India on the back foot after Pant injury blow in fourth Test
Rishabh Pant's retirement through injury slowed India's progress on day one of the fourth Test against England, with the tourists closing on 264-4 in their first innings as they look to keep the thrilling five-match series alive. With England eyeing victory at Old Trafford that would seal a series win with one match to spare, the hosts put India in to bat in overcast Manchester conditions, but the tourists cruised through to lunch untroubled on 78-0. Three wickets in the afternoon session costing just 36 runs, including India skipper Shubman Gill, swung momentum back in England's favour before tea. England spinner Liam Dawson picked up his first Test wicket in eight years when he had opener Yashasvi Jaiswal caught for 58. As he often does, the entertaining Pant upped the ante after tea by playing a number of flamboyant shots. However, all that came to an abrupt end when he retired hurt on 37, having taken a blow on the foot trying to reverse sweep Chris Woakes. Sai Sudharsan's maiden test fifty, a patient knock which took 134 balls to achieve, had already taken India past 200 before he got a hook shot all wrong to fall for 61. England could not make any further inroads to leave the Test finely poised going into day two. Earlier, Yashasvi Jaiswal passed his 12th fifty, the most half centuries by any batter since his debut in July 2023. However, he did not last much longer as England spinner Liam Dawson took a Test wicket for the first time in eight years, Jaiswal edging through to Zak Crawley at second slip when on 58. The big wicket just before tea further swung the momentum back in England's favour as Gill, with three centuries already this series, was trapped leg before wicket by Stokes having scored just 12. The India skipper has registered only 34 runs in his last three innings. The Old Trafford crowd took great delight in Gill's departure, given his complaints over England's conduct in the last Test at Lord's.

IND vs ENG 4th Test: 'Shubman Gill gave me complete backing behind the scenes,' says Sai Sudharsan
Divya Deshmukh (Sahil Malhotra/ in Manchester: On a day when India's batters showed grit against England's disciplined attack, Sai Sudharsan credited India's Test captain Shubman Gill for his calm guidance that helped him craft a vital 61 off 151 balls on Day 1 of the fourth Test at Old Trafford. 'After first game, Shubi (Shubman Gill) gave me complete backing behind the scenes. He tells everybody clearly. It's been same Shubi from IPL,' Sudharsan told reporters in the press conference after the day's play on Wednesday. Sudharsan, who replaced Karun Nair in the playing XI, looked composed even on a challenging surface that offered inconsistent bounce and seam movement. 'There was variable bounce, two-paced wicket. Throughout the day, the ball was moving and was doing something off the pitch,' he explained. The young left-hander was candid about his dismissal, a mistimed pull to fine leg. 'I didn't know how I edged it down the leg. England do it quite often for other batters too. I was quite aware coming into this game,' he said. Despite the pressure of a comeback Test, Sudharsan insisted he was focused on playing for the team. 'I am not looking at this as pressure but an opportunity to express myself. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like Gold Is Surging in 2025 — Smart Traders Are Already In IC Markets Learn More Undo I wanted to play the situation and do well for the team,' he further said.

Why Dinesh Karthik is impressed with Shubman Gill as a Test captain so far
In the aftermath of the escalating tensions in the Lord's Test last week, former India wicketkeeper Dinesh Karthik said he has been impressed with Shubman Gill standing his ground and showing leadership so early in his tenure as captain. In the dying moments of play on Day 3, Gill had been in an altercation with England opener Zak Crawley over what he felt were the batter's deliberate attempts to cause delays. More heated exchanges followed in the rest of the Test as the hosts ran their way to a thrilling 22-run victory. Ahead of the fourth Test in Manchester, which started on Wednesday, Gill had said in his press conference that while he was not proud of everything he did, he felt he was only standing up for his team against tactics he felt are 'not in the spirit of the game.' "It's good to be fiesty, you need to have an identity as a captain" 🔥 DK is loving Shubman Gill's approach to captaining India 🇮🇳 — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) July 23, 2025 Karthik felt that Gill's response showed his potential as a leader. 'I have really enjoyed him as a captain so far. On the field, he is improving. But off the field is where is where I have been most impressed,' he said on Sky Sports. 'I think yesterday's press conference was absolutely box office.' 'I like it, it is good to be feisty, You need to have an identity as a captain. And Shubman Gill, from that third day at Lord's, has shown that he has a lot of aggression inside him. The result may not have gone his way but the point is it has made for a thrilling Test series so far and his captaincy is right at the forefront of it, backed by his batting skills as well,' Karthik added. Gill agreed with Karthik's assessment when he put the charged atmosphere down to his motivation to win. 'It didn't just come out of nowhere. And we had no intention of doing that whatsoever. But you're playing a game, you're playing to win, and there are a lot of emotions involved,' he had said on Tuesday.
