The 5 -match Test series between India and England is going to start from June 20, from where the Indian cricket team will start the new cycle of the World Test Championship. Before this Test series on the tour of England, now the red ball of England is going to be a headache for India and along with Shubman Gill, there has been a big problem for Shubman Gill as well as coach Gautam Gambhir.
Actually, one such ball is to be used against England in the series that you will also be completely surprised to know about it.
IND Vs ENG: Why England’s Red Ball will be a headache for India
First of all, you should know that Team India will not use Kukabura or SG ball in the series against England. Instead, a Test series will be played from Duke Ball in England, so that the team captained by Shubman Gill has started preparing for this series. There are some special things about Duke Ball that you will also be surprised to know, which is made by hand, which is also stitched by hands instead of machine.
The biggest reason behind using this ball is that its seam is fine for a long time. For a long time this ball remains hard and its size does not change very soon. This is the reason why using such balls, especially for the fast bowler as well as spin bowlers, will prove to be very helpful. It is claimed that after 30 overs, reverse swing starts from this ball.
This ball will be headacked for Team India in England
Since 2007, Team India has not won any Test series in England. In such a situation, the use of Duke Ball instead of SG and Kukabura is a matter of even more concern for Team India. In fact, the weight of this ball is between about 156 and 163 grams, which is ordered special leather from Scotland to prepare, which has a thickness of 4 millimeters to 4.5 million.
At this time, coach Gautam Gambhir wants to perform well against the Indian cricket team England (IND VS ENG) as Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli are not an experienced player in the team at this time. In such a situation, this tour will also be full of challenge for captain Shubman Gill.
