IND vs ENG 4th Test: 'His plate will be full' - Ravi Shastri has hilarious go at former India legend
As the 4th Test of the five-match series between India and England progresses, the hosts maintain a 2-1 lead. The penultimate Test has the potential to confirm a series win for Ben Stokes and Co if they manage to pull off the win, but if the game goes the visitors' way, a thrilling decider will be played at The Oval.
As things stand, India have lost their openers Yashasvi Jaiswal and KL Rahul, with the latter departing early in the second session to a Chris Woakes delivery, when he was caught out by Zak Crawley. Jaiswal went on to bag his half-century, before England spinner Liam Dawson took his wicket, marking his first Test wicket in 8 years. While lots of action on the pitch went viral on Day 1, a hilarious moment between two Indian legends was also taken notice of on social media.
Skipper Gill was also dismissed for an underwhelming score of just 12 from 23 balls.
Doing commentary for the exciting Test,
Ravi Shastri
took a hilarious dig at Indian legend Farokh Enginee. As the camera zoomed in on the legend, Shastri took a subtle jab at the 87-year-old, much to the delight of the latter. Listening on from the stands, the veteran chuckled when Shastri said, "A real pin-up boy in the 60s and 70s. Hugely popular and he's not changed over the years.

"He won many national and international level marathon competitions and events. He beat several records and achieved feats that were not possible even for young people.

'He outplayed Patrick Mahomes': Cris Carter defends Jalen Hurts after Cam Newton snub
(Getty Images) Jalen Hurts recently delivered the Philadelphia Eagles a Super Bowl championship and an MVP performance, yet his spot among the NFL's elite quarterbacks is still being questioned. Former MVP Cam Newton recently left Hurts out of his top 10 QB rankings, but Hall of Famer Cris Carter isn't buying it. In fact, Carter argues Hurts has done enough to earn credit even saying he outplayed Patrick Mahomes in their head-to-head Super Bowl matchups. Cris Carter believes Jalen Hurts has proven himself despite strong roster help During a recent segment, Carter defended Hurts after Newton's comments sparked backlash across social media. Newton had suggested that Hurts doesn't need to play at an 'elite level' because of the stacked roster around him. Carter pushed back, saying Hurts shouldn't be downgraded simply because his team is talented: 'I look at the last two Super Bowls he was in against Patrick Mahomes. He outplayed Patrick Mahomes, and he should get credit for that.' Jalen Hurts Deserves More Credit #philadelphiaeagles #jalenhurts #nfl #patrickmahomes #sports Carter compared Hurts' situation to Joe Montana's era, pointing out that no one dismissed Montana's greatness just because the 49ers surrounded him with elite weapons. The debate over stats versus winning Newton's critique centered on Hurts' passing totals, specifically last season's 2,900 yards, which Newton claimed wasn't enough to place him in the league's top tier. Carter countered that a quarterback's primary job is to win, not chase numbers: 'If we're measuring QBs, the first question is—did he win? What Jalen Hurts is doing is not his fault. by Taboola by Taboola Sponsored Links Sponsored Links Promoted Links Promoted Links You May Like We Have No Words For Dog The Bounty Hunter's Transformation Cash Roadster Undo He's the captain of the ship, and Philadelphia is a tough place to be a quarterback.' Hurts has shown he can post big numbers when needed, back in 2022, he threw for over 3,700 yards, rushed for 750+, and scored 35 total touchdowns. But his style emphasizes team success over stat-padding. Jalen Hurts' dual-threat ability makes the Eagles more dangerous Carter also highlighted Hurts' impact beyond the box score. His mobility forces defenses to adjust, creating opportunities for teammates like Saquon Barkley to shine. When teams take away the run, Hurts has repeatedly stepped up as a passer in big moments especially in the postseason. Despite a Super Bowl victory, MVP honors, and back-to-back trips to the big game, Jalen Hurts is still fighting for respect in some circles. Critics see him as a product of his roster; supporters see him as a proven winner who thrives under pressure. As Carter put it, Hurts shouldn't be penalized for leading a loaded team, he should be credited for keeping it at the top. FAQs: 1. What did Cam Newton say about Jalen Hurts? Newton left Hurts out of his top 10 QB list, claiming Hurts benefits from an elite roster and doesn't play at an individually elite level. 2. Why is Hurts' recent season criticized? He threw for around 2,900 yards, which some analysts feel isn't enough to justify top-tier QB status, despite the Eagles' success. 3. Has Hurts shown elite numbers before? Yes. In 2022, he posted over 3,700 passing yards, 750 rushing yards, and 35 total touchdowns.
