After refusing Rohit Sharma’s advice, Kuldeep Yadav gets his wicket

English opener Zak Crawley was well set when at the other end, wickets kept falling. Kuldeep Yadav was the reason behind Crawley’s dismissal but to do that, Yadav had to refuse his captain’s advice.

Rohit Sharma told Yadav that it would be better if a fielder came in, but after listening to Yadav’s advice, Sharma went back to stand at first slip. On the very next ball, Crawley lost his wicket as the ball crashed into the stumps. He departed after scoring 60 runs from 91 balls with seven boundaries.

Indian cricketer Dinesh Karthik was in the commentary box and he revealed the conversation between Sharma and Yadav.

Rohit asked whether Kuldeep wanted the gap open there. Kuldeep said no, let there be a gap, let there be cover, but just push the mid-off back. And the next ball, Crawley looking to play towards cover, was bowled neck and crop.

In their second innings, England could post 145 runs on the scoreboard. Ravichandran Ashwin was the wreaker-in-chief as he dismissed five batters for 51 runs. Yadav got four wickets as well. India have started their second innings and need just 152 runs to win the match.
