Shubman Gill said that such banters make a game more 'exciting and challenging' and the incidents that happened at Lord's in London during the third Test of the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy are part and parcel of sport.
After very peaceful yet thrilling first two Tests, England and India players had a go at each other during the third Test match. It all started on Day 3 during the last 10 minutes of the play.
India skipper Shubman Gill was furious, and he was seen telling Zak Crawley to "grow some f***ing balls" after he twice pulled out while facing Jasprit Bumrah, and moments later, when the English opener was struck on the glove, several Indian fielders walked towards him while clapping sarcastically.
From thereon, things only kept getting uglier as Mohammed Siraj gave a fiery send-off to Ben Duckett on Day 4 and even received punishment from the ICC.
I mean, you are giving everything - Shubman Gill
Speaking to the media after the match, Shubman Gill played down the fiery contests and said that there is a lot of admiration between the two teams.
“At the end of the day, there is a lot of admiration between the two teams. Both teams are trying their best to win the match and perform. There can be moments when there can be some heat. You are just trying to give your best, it can happen in a game of cricket, but this is what makes it so exciting,” he added.
Both teams are playing hard - Shubman Gill
Shubman Gill was further questioned whether the Ben Stokes-led England took the sledging from the Indian players to heart and whether this resulted in the Three Lions going on all-out war in the last innings.
“This is what makes it more exciting. Both teams are playing hard, trying their best to win the match. Moments like these make the series more interesting,” said Gill.
India suffered a 22-run loss in the third Test match against England to go down 2-1 in the five-match series, and the fourth match will start on July 23 at Old Trafford, Manchester.
