‘There was not a lot of captains in the headingley’, Murali Karthik’s statement created a sensation
After defeat in the first Test played in Leeds against England Indian team Criticism is being done, but at the same time the captaincy of Shubman Gill is also in the dock. Former Indian cricketer Murali Karthik has given a statement after the defeat that has worried the fans. Karthik feels that India’s new Test captain Shubman Gill had a shortage of rights in the first Test match played in Leeds.
Assessing Gill’s leadership after India’s defeat, Murali Karthik said that the 25 -year -old Gill lacks authority as captain as there were many players around him. He felt that there were many captains controlling things in the middle, which should not have been, because there is only one captain.
Karthik said on the cricbage, “We can find excuses, but the problem is that we scored 835 runs, a bowler took five wickets and despite this India lost the match by five wickets. I felt that I was a lot of captains. I could not understand it. Sometimes KL Rahul was giving some suggestions, Rishabh Pant was giving some suggestions, Shubman Gill was also doing this, Shubman Gill, who is doing this, who is really appointed captain, I am not able to understand. Is.”
Speaking further, he said, “I understand that if a senior player sees someone moving here and twice, then he suggests, but this happens again and again, which is not a good sign.”
Let me tell you that after India’s defeat, many cricket pundits targeted Gill and said that they did not have the leadership aura on the field and allowed England to control things with their defensive strategy. However, Gill performed well on the batting front and scored a brilliant 147 runs in the first innings, making him the fifth Indian captain to score a century at the beginning of the captaincy. He had important partnerships with Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant in the first innings, which managed to score a good score of 471 runs.
