India’s third Test against England at Lord’s saw a fiery moment in the final over of Day 3. After both teams posted identical scores of 387, England openers Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett came in to face a tricky few minutes. During Jasprit Bumrah’s over, Crawley pulled away before the third ball, pointing to some movement behind the bowler. Shubman Gill, standing in the slips, seemed irritated by the delay and voiced his frustration.
Things escalated when Crawley was hit on the glove and called for medical attention. What followed was a heated argument between Gill and Crawley, as Indian players gathered around. The moment sparked debates among fans, but KL Rahul, who witnessed the entire incident, offered a calm perspective.
‘It’s Just Part of the Game,’ Says Rahul
Speaking to reporters after stumps, KL Rahul said the exchange was nothing out of the ordinary in competitive cricket. As an opening batter himself, Rahul said he understood Crawley’s reaction. He also revealed that it wasn’t the first time he had seen Shubman Gill fired up.
According to Rahul, the team had hoped to bowl two overs in the final six minutes to snatch a breakthrough. The delay and the drama, he said, were part of the pressure and strategy of the game. Even though India did not get a wicket, Rahul emphasized that the team remained charged and ready for the final two days of play.
At the end of Day 3, England were 2/0, and with both teams starting fresh, Day 4 promises more intense action.
