Former India captain Sourav Ganguly said that he was disappointed to see Shubman Gill & Co lose the third Test to England at Lord’s by just 22 runs, but was convinced that Team India’s batters will be even more sad given they could not get 193 despite batting brilliantly so far in
the series.
Ravindra Jadeja’s 72 in the first innings and a fighting 61 not out in the second went in vain as India were bowled out for 170 on Day 5 of the third Test on Monday, and England took a 2-1 lead in the five-match affair.
