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.

The Indian team management is expected to have the injury thoroughly assessed to determine his availability for the remainder of the match. This incident marks an unfortunate trend for Pant, who had also picked up an injury during the first day of the previous Test at Lord's.

Rishabh Pant goes off the field with injury, Ravindra Jadeja replaces him in IND vs ENG 4th Test
India wicket keeper Rishabh Pant suffered another injury as he had to be helped off the field during the opening day of the 4th India vs England Test in Manchester on Thursday. The incident happened in the 68th over when Pant tried to reverse sweep a Chris Woakes delivery and was hit flush on his ankle. The player immediately went down and the physios came on the field to check on him. His foot was swollen and the wicketkeeper-batter had to be taken off the field by a small vehicle as he couldn't even walk out on his own accord. Ravindra Jadeja replaced him for the time being in the middle. Pant was batting on 37 when he went off retired hurt. Earlier, there were more twists in England's thrilling series against India as three wickets in the afternoon session on Wednesday helped the hosts drag themselves back into contention on day one of fourth test, the tourists sitting on 149-3 at tea. Rishabh Pant is driven off the field of play after suffering some severe swelling on his right foot and Ravindra Jadeja walks out to the middle… 🩹 — Sky Sports Cricket (@SkyCricket) July 23, 2025 India resumed on 78-0 after lunch with England desperately needing a breakthrough. Veteran Chris Woakes delivered the goods, finding KL Rahul's edge, the opener falling four short of his half century. Yashasvi Jaiswal passed his 12th fifty shortly after, 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 Shubman 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. Leading 2-1 in the five-test series, risk-taking England captain Ben Stokes had ignored historical precedent and put India in to bat first — no side winning the toss and bowling first has ever won a test at Old Trafford previously.
