Onecricket


India’s opener Shubman Gill has sustained an injury on his left forearm and been sent for a precautionary scan toa assess the extent of that injury, the BCCI said on Tuesday. Gill did not come onto the filed on the fourth day and the board issued an update regarding the state of his injury within the first hour.


Gill was hurt by fielding at the short leg position in the late hours on the third day when a sweep shot from Dan Lawrence found him in the middle. Gill did not look in extreme discomfort straightway, but the update from BCCI hints the injury may have become serious for the impressive right-hander from Punjab.

Gill has been an important part of the batting order since his debut in Melbourne in the last series against Australia and his injury and a possible absence will hurt India who are already without Ravindra Jadeja and Mohammed Shami from the list of their preferred first-choice players.

Cheteshwar Pujara keeps finding unfortunate ways to get out against England

There is no end of bad luck insight of India’s number three Chetehswar Pujara as he found yet another unfortunate way to get out on the third day of the second Test against Chennai. This is his second dismissals in bizarre fashion in this series after the first innings of the first Test. In the morning session of the third day, Pujara was playing in the usual style of stepping down to the pitch of the ball to negate spin, but for once Moeen Ali’s delivery jumped right to the short leg fielder Ollie Pope who was alert to find Pujara was outside of the batting crease. Pujara recovered quickly to turn around in order to get back into the crease, but his bat got jammed in the pitch just on the line and his second attempt of making it into the crease by his feet was not quick enough and Ben Foakes whipped off the bails to send him back to the pavilion. Pujara looked distraught after the dismissal. He was dismissed in a similar bizarre manner in the first Test when his ferocious pull shot against off-spinner Dominic Bess found Ollie Pope’s shoulder and the ricochet was pouched safely by Rory Burns stationed at the short midwicket position. Pujara’s wicket brought a collapse of the Indian batting order in the first session of the third day as the trio of Rohit Sharma, Rishabh Pant and Ajinkya Rahane quickly joined him in the dressing room. Virat Kohli held one end together while Ravichandran Ashwin played some remarkable shots to take India’s lead past 350-run mark at the Lunch interval on the third day.

FIR lodged against Yuvraj Singh

Former India all-rounder Yuvraj Singh has found himself in some trouble after his name was included in an FIR. The FIR has been lodged on basis of a complaint by a lawyer against his alleged casteist remarks against Dalits. According to a report in The Indian Express, a Hansi-based lawyer named Rajat Kalsan had filed a complaint at Hansi city police station in Hisar district in June last year. The FIR has been lodged under sections 153, 153 A, 295, 505 of the IPC and SC/ST act on Sunday. “This comment has hurt the sentiments of Dalits as millions of people have watched this video on social media,” Kalsan said. The controversy erupted after Yuvraj in an Instagram LIVE session with Rohit Sharma called Yuzvendra Chahal a ‘bhangi’. The former left-arm cricketer later faced the heat on social media for his remarks. Yuvraj had later clarified that his remarks were unintentional in a statement. “This is to clarify that I have never believed in any kind of disparity, be it on the basis of caste, colour, creed or gender. I have given and continue to spend my life for the welfare of people. I believe in the dignity of life and respect each individual without exception,” read the statement. “I understand that while I was having a conversation with my friends, I was misunderstood, which was unwarranted. However, as a responsible India I want to say that if I have unintentionally hurt anybody’s sentiments or feelings, I would like to express regret for the same. My love for India and all its people is eternal,” the statement added.
