Intense Moments for Indian Captain at Lord's

During the second day of the third Test at Lord's, Indian captain Shubman Gill was visibly upset. Alongside fast bowler Mohammed Siraj, Gill expressed his frustration towards the umpires during the first session. Images and videos from this incident have gone viral on social media.

The incident unfolded during the 91st over of England's innings when India was dominating the match after dismissing Ben Stokes, centurion Joe Root, and Chris Woakes. After a few deliveries in the 91st over, with the second new ball being 10.4 overs old, Gill raised concerns about the condition of the ball. Umpire Paul Reiffel took a ring from his pocket, indicating that the ball did not meet the standards for a Test match. This prompted a change in the ball, as the fourth umpire brought a new one onto the field. Gill was immediately displeased with the decision.

He engaged in a heated discussion with umpire Sharafuddaula, refusing to back down and continuing to voice his complaints. However, he was instructed to return to his fielding position so that play could resume. Siraj approached the umpires to inspect the ball, and he was heard on the stump mic questioning, 'Is this really a 10-over-old ball?'
