India's stunning performance at Lord's may have triggered several reactions, from the enigmatic Virat Kohli re-energizing his game to opener Shubman Gill sparking a feud with England's Zak Crawley. These player revelations and other developments shed a different light on India's tour of England.
Opening batsman Shubman Gill and England opener Zak Crawley were involved in a heated confrontation during the third day of the second Test at Lord's. Throughout the day, Crawley, who was batting, could be seen growing frustrated with the Indian bowlers, particularly Gill. The situation escalated during the final session when Crawley and Gill came face to face. The England opener survived a confident appeal for lbw off Mohammed Siraj in the penultimate over of the day, and frustrations boiled over.
According to British media, Gill was heard telling Crawley to "stop complaining" as the latter expressed his displeasure over the unsuccessful review. This incident highlighted an otherwise exciting day of cricket, with both India and England batsmen dominating spells.
The altercation has certainly added a new dimension to this Test series, with both teams battling it out for dominance. It'll be interesting to see if this feud has any effect on the outcome of the match and the series or if it'll fade away as quickly as it appeared.
Additionally, Kohli's much-anticipated return to form was another talking point. The former captain's last century overseas came in 2019. His dismissal in the first innings at Edgbaston was met with a visibly disappointed reaction from his teammates. However, Kohli's confident show at Lord's, despite his dismissal, is a signal of a different outcome for him and his team.
Although he may not have turned 'the beast' on just yet, as some expect, these subtle glimpses of determination and newfound energy will hopefully propel India to a memorable victory.
