What did King Charles III ask Indian skipper Shubman Gill after 3rd Test?
King Charles III described Indian pacer Mohammed Siraj's dismissal in the Lord's Test as 'unfortunate' after thoughtfully asking Shubman Gill about the moment during a reception at Clarence House, where he welcomed both India's men's and women's cricket teams on Tuesday. The 76-year-old monarch engaged in a friendly cricketing discussion with the Indian squad, a meeting Gill later described as 'amazing.' Joining the teams were Indian High Commissioner to the UK Vikram Doraiswami, Deputy High Commissioner Sujit Ghosh, BCCI Vice-President Rajiv Shukla, and Secretary Devajit Saikia. What did King Charles III ask Shubman Gill after Lord's Test? #WATCH | London, UK | On meeting King Charles III, Team India skipper Shubman Gill says, "It was amazing to meet King Charles III and he was very kind and generous to call us.

He was very kind and generous, and we had some excellent conversations.' Recalling the dramatic finish in the third Test, where Siraj was bowled as the ball sat defensively off his bat, Gill added: 'The King noted how unlucky our last batters were, with the ball ending up on the stumps. He asked us, 'How did you feel after that?' We told him it was an unfortunate match but that we're hopeful for better luck in the upcoming games.' Gill also praised the unwavering support from the Indian community in the UK: 'We're fortunate to receive strong backing wherever we play. At first, the crowd at Lord's seemed more England-leaning, but over the last few days, the support for us was overwhelming.' He lauded the quality of Test cricket on display, saying: 'Both teams showed passion and pride, giving everything mentally and physically. When a five-day Test ends with such a narrow margin, cricket wins.' Harmanpreet Kaur on meeting the King On her own exceptional experience, Indian women's team captain Harmanpreet Kaur said, 'Meeting the King was a wonderful experience. This was our first time meeting him, he was very friendly and asked about our travel.' Women's head coach Amol Muzumdar added, 'It was a humbling moment at the Royal House. We traveled all the way from Southampton, and it was definitely worth it.' The event was hosted by the British Asian Trust, founded by Charles when he was Prince of Wales to address poverty and inequality in South Asia. Hitan Mehta, Executive Director, remarked on the trust's growth: 'It began with a cricket match between India and Pakistan in 2007 organized by His Majesty, and now reaches 13 million people across the region.' Following the visit, the men's team departed for Manchester ahead of the fourth Test, while the women's squad returned to Southampton to prepare for their ODI clash with England, scheduled after their narrow 3-2 T20I series win.

7 Reasons Why India Lost The 3rd Test Against England At Lords: Rishabh Pant's Run-Out, Yashasvi Jaiswals Reckless Shot And....
photoDetails english 2932351 Updated:Jul 15, 2025, 07:20 PM IST 1. Rishabh Pant's Run-Out 1 / 7 Rishabh Pant's run out in the first innings on Day 3 was one of the biggest turning points of the third Test at Lord's. Pant, who was batting fluently on 74, attempted a quick single to bring KL Rahul on strike, hoping to help the latter complete his century before lunch. However, Pant was caught short by a brilliant direct hit from Ben Stokes. Pant's dismissal triggered a collapse from 376/6 to 387 all out, costing India a potential 50-100 run lead that could have been crucial on a deteriorating Lord's pitch. 2. Yashasvi Jaiswal's Reckless Shot 2 / 7 Yashasvi Jaiswal's reckless shot against Jofra Archer at the start in the fourth innings was also a crucial factor in India's loss in the third Test at Lord's. Jaiswal got enticed into hitting a short ball from Archer but England's fast bowler's pace was too hot to handle at Lord's. Yashasvi could have taken a cue on how England's batters respected the conditions and left their Bazball approach in the first innings to adjust to a difficult pitch on the opening day of the Lord's Test. 3. Conceding Excessive Extras 3 / 7 The Indian bowlers conceded 31 extras in the first innings and 32 in the second. A total of 63 extras proved costly in a low-scoring chase as it effectively increased England's target. 4. Shubman Gill's Twin Failures 4 / 7 India skipper Shubman Gill dominated the proceedings with the bat in the first Two Tests of the five-match series. However, England managed to find a way to stop Gill's incredible run with the bat in the third Test at Lord's, which eventually proved crucial in their home side's success. Gill edged the outswinger from Chris Woakes to be dismissed for 16 in the first innings while Brydon Carse removed him for just 6 runs in the second innings at Lord's. 5. KL Rahul's Drop of Jamie Smith 5 / 7 KL Rahul's dropped catch of Jamie Smith (on 5) in the first innings was a turning point in the Lord's Test. Smith went on to score 51, and with Brydon Carse's 56, England added over 100 runs after being 271/7, reaching 387, which eventually made things more difficult for India. 6. Batting Collapses 6 / 7 India suffered batting collapses in both innings of the Lord's Test. At one point, India were 376/6 and expected to take the first innings lead but they suffered a lower order collapse and finished level on England's first innings total of 387. India lost their last four wickets for 11 runs as the England pace attack ran through the lower order. While chasing a target of 193 runs for victory, India suffered the batting collapse in the second innings as well and eventually lost the Lord's Test match. 7. England's Relentless Bowling And Ben Stokes' Impact 7 / 7 England's bowlers, led by Ben Stokes (3/48) and Jofra Archer (3/55), exploited the deteriorating pitch effectively and troubled the Indian batter in the 4th innings of the Lord's Test. Stokes' 19.2-over spell and his captaincy under pressure were pivotal for England's win at Lord's

'They Obviously Like The Food Here': Vaughan Trolls India On Pre-Lunch Collapses
Last Updated: Michael Vaughan has highlighted India captain Shubman Gill's concern about India's tendency to lose wickets in clusters before lunch. Former England cricketer Michael Vaughan has said that India skipper Shubman Gill will be concerned about how India have been losing wickets in clusters since the first Test, pointing out the visitors' special knack of losing wickets before lunch, saying that they like the food in England. Dismissals right before lunch have been a constant theme for India throughout the series, starting with KL Rahul and Sai Sudharsan departing on the opening day of the series opener in Headingley. Vaughan put down the repeated theme of such dismissals to poor concentration and a cautious approach. 'Gill will be slightly concerned that you go to Leeds and collapse, then the little collapse on Day 4 and now another three quick wickets this morning. Yeah (on losing wickets before lunch being a concern for India), they like the food here, thinking about the lunches they can have if they are dismissed," Vaughan said while speaking on Cricbuzz. 'But that is just concentration. The more you think about batting differently towards the end of a session, the more you are probably going to get out," Vaughan added. The former England cricketer highlighted how collapses have proven problematic for India in the series, including the late one on the fourth day of the Lord's Test, where Karun Nair, Gill and Akash Deep were dismissed right before the stumps. Despite losing Yashasvi Jaiswal for a duck in the run chase, India had recovered to be placed at 41/1. Veteran all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja and the fragile tail brought India back from the brink but fell short in the face of England skipper Ben Stokes' resolve, going down by 22 runs in the fluctuating third Test at Lord's. view comments First Published: Disclaimer: Comments reflect users' views, not News18's.
