It was a flat deck, and batters made the most of it, with Indian captain scoring a total of 430 runs in the game. On the bowling front, Mohammed Siraj and Akash Deep led the way for India and picked 17 wickets between them.
Shubman Gill Expresses Confidence In India's Bowling Strength
The duo is receiving praise from all corners for their effort, and now Shubman Gill in a video released by Star Sports has also applauded his pacers. While speaking to Star Sports in Hindi, Gill said that when two fast bowlers pick 16-17 wickets, it becomes easy for a captain.
He also expressed confidence in his team and mentioned that India is full of talent. He added that all those who are playing in the squad are the best bowlers from the country and even without Bumrah, they have the ability to pick 20 wickets irrespective of conditions.
"Bahut Impressive thaa jab aapka do fast bowlers 16-17 wickets ke kareeb le lete hai toh captaincy bohot easy ho jaati hai. Jab do fast bowlers itne ache form me hai. Bumrah bhai iss match me nahi khel rahe the lekin India me itna talent hai, humne jo 16-17 ka squad kiya hai woh India ke best bowlers hai. Aur unme se koi bhi bowling attack koi bhi situation aur conditions me 20 wickets nikale ke shamata rakhta hai," Shubman Gill told StarSports.
India were without Jasprit Bumrah in this Test, and he is all set to be back for the next encounter. It would strengthen India's bowling attack further and they would like to continue the good work at Lord's and take the lead in this five-match Test series.
