Main point:
Before the third Test between India and England, Shubman Gill was seen practicing in the nets. He faced the balls of Deepak Chahar, which was close to practice due to being nearby. Jasprit Bumrah is scheduled to return while the famous Krishna may have to sit outside.
Delhi: The five-match Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy series between India and England is getting a tremendous match. Currently, the series is on 1-1. Now the third Test match is to be played at Lord’s ground called Mecca of cricket. Team India captain Shubman Gill is leaving no stone unturned in preparation.
Deepak Chahar bowled Gill
Before the Lord’s Test, Shubman Gill was seen sweating heavily in the nets. But, everyone’s eyes stopped when Deepak Chahar was bowling them. Chahar, who played for Mumbai Indians in IPL 2025, is not a part of Team India at the moment, but he was nearby so he participated in the nets.
Deepak Chahar put a long spell and Gill carefully faced his balls. Chahar was not in India’s training kit, which was clear that he is not a part of the squad. He appeared in Lord’s ground for a few hours and then left.

This is not the first time this has happened. Earlier, Punjab Kings spinner Harpreet Brar was also seen in the nets before the second Test played in Birmingham. He had also told that he was around and attended the practice at Gill’s behest.
In the second Test, India won by 336 runs. After that match, Gill confirmed that Jaspreet Bumrah would return to Lord’s Test. In such a situation, the famous Krishna may have to sit outside.
Team India has a big opportunity to name this series. If they win in Lord’s, then for the first time after 2007, the hope of winning the Test series in England will be strengthened.
