Eng vs ind: Shubman Gill faces the offspring of fans after calling the turning point of Rishabh pant the turn in the Lord test
IndiaA narrow defeat of 22 points England In the third test at Lord’s left the skipper Shubman gill Rushing for a moment above all the others, the run-out of Rishabh pants. The dismissal, which broke a faithful partnership of 141 points between Pants and Kl Rahul Day 3, changed spectacularly from the momentum, finally paved the way for the superb return victory of England.
India, in a dominant position at 248/3, seemed ready to take a dominant advance in the first sleeves. Pant had commonly played on 74, while Rahul was on 99, approaching a well -deserved century. With just moments before the lunch break, Pant tried a simple simple to put Rahul on strike, likely to help him remove his hundreds. But what seemed to be a calculated risk quickly became disastrous. A brilliant piece of land from the captain of England Stokes, who threw the stumps with a direct blow, caught the pants short of the fold. The run-out not only ended the pant’s sleeves, but also interrupted the momentum of India. The team collapsed from 248/3 to 387 all, abandoning what could have been a first blow advantage.
Shubman Gill: “It was Rishabh who called the single”
Addressing the media after the match, Gill did not blame the pursuit by Rahul of a personal stage, pointing rather a simple time of judgment.
“We are talking about a lot of maintenance of the team’s interest before the personal stages. But I think it was a judgment error, rather than anything to do with a hundred. Yes, a drummer feels pressure at 99 years, but it was not there,” Gill explained.
Rahul stressed that Pant made the race, and STAT was left to run towards the end of the danger, an unfortunate situation, but not a situation motivated by a selfish intention. Despite the error, Gill recognized the importance of the partnership and admitted that the dismissal of Pant had changed the course of the match.
“It was Rishabh who called the single. Kl Bhai ran at the end of dangerous. These were not personal glory. These things happen in cricket, even at the best of strikers. The most important moment for us was the Run-out of Rishabh. At one point, we thought we could have an advance of 50 or even 100 points. most of them,” Gill concluded.

This single moment of bad communication and poor evaluation not only interrupted a stand of a century, but opened the door to the resurgence of England. From this moment, the average and lower order of India has failed to rely on the platform. England capitalized, rejected India for 387, and then defended a modest objective of 193 points on the last day in a nervous finish, with Jofra Archer And Ben Stokes Direct the load. The dreams of India to obtain an advance of 2-1 were destroyed, and instead, England walked in front, leading the competition of the Anderson-Tendulkar trophy. For Gill and his team, Lord’s sorrow will serve as a painful reminder of the way even a single race or a single decision can swing a match in the test cricket.
While the run-out was a bitter blow, pant’s performance in the series was simply exceptional. The SouthPaw is currently the second highest of run-details in the series, amazing 425 points in six rounds with an astonishing average of 70.83. Its explosive style has also seen him register for two centuries and two fifty ones, while maintaining a typing rate of 78.41, the highest among the Indian strikers on the tour.
Here’s how fans reacted:
Shubman Gill did not say a word about the obsession of milestones probably because he is also obsessed. Instead, he changed the blame for the run-out on Rishabh Pant.

Shubman Gill:
In victory: I struck a double century for so long, a century did not throw my WKT to make sure that India wins
Losing: Pant did that, Pant did that

Kl Rahul himself admitted that he had told Pant that he wanted a century before lunch, so how can you say that it was Pant’s call? https://t.co/zukrumerk

Don’t make me hate you Gill, not.
I never thought that everyone will continue to throw it under the bus man.
It is simply terrible and it shows your character more than anyone and shows the breathless.
Do not change pants because of someone else https://t.co/ikrmkylkph

A story of two shubhs. We come back from space today. Representing the country at the highest level.
The other is a talented but not sure cricket player who has shown certain signs of magnitude. Young Suryavanshi Waloped GT in IPL, but Gill could not even rent him by name.… Https://t.co/t6ibynlaanlaan– Anish Teli (@anishteli) July 15, 2025
@Shubmangill Your performance was pathetic in this match. Whenever there is a ball that seems or balances, your technical faults come out, so please work on it rather than blaming Rishabh Pant. You repeat the same mistakes you made in Australia.

First test: Pant drops an outlet – Gill subtly blame.
Third test: Gill drops 2 crucial catches – not a word on his own performance.
Now he calls the biggest moment?
The captain is to own, not to point the finger. Intensify, not scapegoat. https://t.co/nndugvoumv– Abhishek Singh (@ rishabhfc17) July 14, 2025
Gill Samajh Chuka Hai Ki Team Mein Sabse Hyped Aur Imp Banda Pant Hi Hai Jispe Woh Har Baat Koleme Daalke Aaram Aur Mauka Mil Jaayega Bss https://t.co/ynh3kpaysr

It is an absolute pathetic behavior of #Shubmangill. Blame #Rishabhpant who had done his best despite an injury. The reasons are solid, you can never be Virat Kohli. #Engvind

Shubman Gill blame Rishabh Pant for the 1st-round run-out?
As a captain, think that he should not be biased towards the vice-captain.#Engvind pic.twitter.com/2z44yzljyo
