Before the commencement of Edgbaston Test, hardly anyone would have thought that on the last day of the match, Team India would be a contender for victory, but will be close to victory. But under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Indian team performed well every day of this match. In this entire match, captain Gill showed the power, who not only showed amazing with his bat, but also impressed with his captaincy. The best example of this showed the last day, when Team India dismissed England captain Ben Stokes. This wicket was given to Washington Sundar but it played a big role in Gill's cleverness and Rabindra Jadeja's 90 second over.
On the fourth day of the Edgbaston Test match, Team India had declared their second innings by scoring 427 runs. Based on this, England got an impossible target of 608 runs to win. But in response, the team lost 3 wickets for 72 runs. Then on the last day, when the match started after it rained for a long time, England soon lost 2 more wickets. At such a time, captain Ben Stokes came to the crease and handled the innings. Stokes and Jamie Smith with him stood at the crease and were proving to be a disaster for Team India.
Gill changed the last moment plan
Just here, captain Gill, vice-captain Rishabh Pant and Ravindra Jadeja together did a wonderful, which benefited Sundar and Team India. It happened that the first session game was about to end and medium pacer Nitish Kumar Reddy was being called for the last over. But then Gill suddenly changed his decision and tried to get more and more overs in the last 5 minutes. In such a situation, he put spinner Sundar on attack. Pant's entry was done here, who told Sundar to take a run to Stokes before the last ball of the over, so that Stokes would come for batting against Jadeja in the next over.
Jadeja's boom and then got wicket
According to the report of Cricbuzz, when this did not happen on the last ball, Jadeja took over and then did what he is known. There were about 2 minutes left for lunch break and in such a situation only one over seemed possible but Jadeja bowled accurately and finished the over within just 90 seconds. The advantage of this was that Team India got a chance to put another over. These overs brought beautiful and then on its third ball, he gave Stokes out LBW and gave Team India a big success. The first session ended with this wicket.
