The legendary England batter Joroot opened in the controversial incident between Shubmangill and Zach Crawley that took place at Lords during the India vs England 5 Match Test series. Root has delved into the new Indian test skipper.
India toured the UK for the 5-match Test series this year. Indian batsmen Rohit Sharma and Virat Kohli have announced their retirement from the format, and youngster Shubman Gill has been handed the Indian side captain for the Red Ball series.
Gill ruled as a skipper in his first series. Not only did he score 754 records in the series, he also returned home as a successful skipper and defended the title with a 2-2 draw. In the same game, a heated exchange was marked between Shubman Gill and Zack Crawley.

Joe Root launches an attack on Shubman Gill for unnecessary drama
Indian captain Shubman Gill was seen furious as India came to the bowl in two innings on the third day of the Lord’s exam. The game was approaching the end of the game. Therefore, Zak Crawley implemented a time-consuming strategy to see England’s innings off that day without losing a wicket.
Shubman Gill charges towards the British opening game, gathering him with abuse, leading to an almost physical altercation. Joe Root, who is now revealing the issue, noted that Shubman Gill himself took a long time to get a massage the day before due to the convulsion problem.
“It was very interesting to see Shubman getting a 10-minute massage when he had a cramp the day before and see everything unfolding. There are other things that happen in the game that happen like this,” said Root of the Barmy Army TV YouTube channel.
“It’s not something you want to see all the time. It’s filmed just in just a day at 60 over because so many other things are going on. But sometimes, unless it ruins the overall experience, that kind of thing is a good theatre,” he added.
Gill’s actions tagged as “great drama” by Great England’s Great
Despite all the drama, the main match finally ended with a victory on the English side. So Joe Root appears to be far more relaxed about the incident that took place between Zach Crawley and Shubman Gill. He said the incident added a lot of drama to the contest.
“I think there is an element of the way they do things, and as an opposition, we make sure it has a very good way of doing it, whether it’s coming back to them or not.
Shubman Gill didn’t stop scoring with the bat as he continued to score another 100 in the next game following the Lord’s ordeal. His historic 269 in Birmingham is an inning to remember in Indian fabrics in British soil.
Joe Root became the second highest scorer in Test cricket history in the India vs England series
England Great was the second-highest rungeter in the series, running 537 times in nine innings he played in the Anderson Tendulcal Trophy. The batters averaged 67.12 and won 300 in the series. He was also the second-highest getter of the century after Indian skippers.
With these runs, Joe Root has passed the former Australian great Ricky Ponting on the list of most runs in Test cricket. He currently has 13,543 runs in red ball cricket and is only behind the great Sachin Tendulkar. He also won the 39th century in the English form.
