Same Ball, Different Judgment: Gill Gets Sympathy, Nair Gets Dropped
Shubman Gill’s LBW at Lord’s echoed Karun Nair’s earlier mistake — both misjudged straight balls, both paid the price. But while Gill got the benefit of leadership, Nair’s error cost him his place in the XI for the 4th Test.
Karun Nair’s Final Over? Public Turns on India’s Triple Centurion After Lord’s Flop
After another disappointing outing in the Lord’s Test, Karun Nair’s Test future hangs in the balance. With India trailing 2-1 in the series, pressure mounts on the selectors to look beyond the veteran, as names like Sudharsan and Easwaran wait in the wings.
Fire & Ice Fell Apart at Lord’s
India’s chase at Lord’s crumbled under pressure as Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul — the Fire & Ice duo — fell apart on Day 5 of the 3rd Test against England. With just 193 to chase, India folded for 170, losing by 22 runs. While Jadeja stood tall with an unbeaten 61, the rest succumbed to England’s sledging and intensity. Skipper Gill admitted Pant’s run-out and lack of partnerships cost the match. Debutant Nitish Kumar Reddy impressed, but Karun Nair’s struggles continued. A cautionary tale in the heart of Test cricket.
