During a tense moment when KL Rahul was nearing his century, many expected team-first thinking from the Indian camp. But when the run-out drama unfolded, instead of questioning the obsession with personal milestones, Shubman Gill ignored that angle and directed the spotlight toward Pant.

The skipper has entirely put the blame on Pant despite the fact that the Indian wicketkeeper-batter batted through the pain during his brilliant knock of 74 runs off 112 balls in the first innings.
The batter feels the pressure when he is batting on 99: Shubman Gill
Gill further noted, “But I wouldn't say Rishabh Pant got out because of the personal milestone of KL Rahul. It was an error of judgment. Rishabh made the call. The danger end was KL Bhai. I would say it was an error of judgment. It can happen to any batter.”

His statement raised eyebrows and questioned whether the team is protecting senior players at the cost of accountability, and some even warned Pant to be careful with Gill.
Meanwhile, Shubman Gill shared a positive update on Rishabh Pant, who hurt his finger during England’s first innings and didn’t keep wickets at Lord’s. The captain said that Pant is recovering well and is expected to be fit and ready for the fourth Test match in Manchester.
How did the run-out drama unfold at Lord's?
Speaking about that controversial run-out at Lord’s, the Indian vice-captain’s innings ended in a shocking run-out just before lunch because of KL Rahul’s risky call. Pant tapped the Shoaib Bashir ball to the off-side, and Rahul rushed for a single.
Pant reacted late, and Ben Stokes, with a brilliant direct hit from cover, sent him back for 74. The timing and Rahul’s eagerness for 100 proved costly for India in the third Test at Lord's.
