The stage is set for an exciting finish at Lord's, as many as 14 wickets fell on Day 4. The match is quite evenly poised, with England needing six wickets to win while India need 135 runs more to get over the line.

The visitors have lost some big wickets, including the big one of the captain, Shubman Gill. The young Indian skipper was involved in a heated argument with English players during India's bowling innings. So, when he came out to bat, the reception was quite hostile from the home team, with remarks coming from all corners.

Ben Duckett Takes Indirect Dig At Shubman Gill's Runs Tally

India were under pressure too, and so England players did not leave any stone unturned in making life tough for Shubman Gill. One of the remarks from Ben Duckett was caught on the stump mic, and it was quite a brutal dig.

Shubman Gill walked out to bat on Day 4 with 601 runs already in the series and went onto become the Indian batter with most runs in a Test series in England. Ben Duckett, though, decided to demean the Indian captain by commenting that 600 runs are enough for Shubman Gill. It was an indirect dig at the quality of Shubman Gill as a batter, but did not get any response from the Indian star.

"600 runs and he is done for this series. 600 runs are enough for this fella."

However, Shubman Gill could manage just six runs, and eventually India ended up losing four wickets in their tricky run-chase of 193. In the two innings at Lord's, Shubman Gill could score a total of just 16 runs, but he smashed three hundreds, including one double in the initial two Test matches and played a big role in India's historic win at Edgbaston.
