'Making these mistakes is a huge gap': Ashwin slams Shubman Gill's captaincy, blames him for potential series loss
Ravichandran Ashwin has criticised Shubman Gill's captaincy during the England Test series, blaming tactical mistakes for India's likely series loss. His comments come after Day 4 of the final Test, where Joe Root and Harry Brook dominated and took England closer to a record win. read more India are on the verge of losing the Test series in England, and veteran spinner R Ashwin believes one big reason is poor captaincy from Shubman Gill. Speaking on his YouTube channel 'Ash Ki Baat', Ashwin didn't hold back as he pointed out some key mistakes India made, especially around how they used their bowlers. Ashwin said that India have shown a lack of game awareness in this series, especially with tactical decisions on the field. 'Coming back to the topic of spinners not being used, I have felt in this series that there has been a lack of game awareness and in many ways, our tactical acumen both on and off the field. This is the main reason why England are ahead in this series and India are behind. We haven't been the sharpest,' he said. STORY CONTINUES BELOW THIS AD Ashwin slams Gill for not using spinners properly He believes Gill will improve with time, but said that missing key moments in the match is costing the team. 'Sometimes if you feel you play spin well, you don't bring in your own spinners at the right time. And when that happens, spinners become a defensive option instead of an attacking one,' Ashwin explained. He gave a specific example from , when England batter Harry Brook was scoring freely. Ashwin said that was the moment to bring in Washington Sundar to slow down the runs. 'You could've had a spinner from one end and a fast bowler from the other. But we missed that chance,' he added. Ashwin blames the Indian team management Ashwin also said it's not clear whether these calls are made on the field or come from the team management. 'Making these mistakes is a huge gap. We don't know whether the message is going from outside to the middle. We don't know the dressing room talks. But in today's day and age, these mistakes can definitely be avoided,' he said. Ashwin's comments came after India showed some fight on Day 4 but still allowed England to come close to victory. Joe Root and Harry Brook both scored hundreds and stitched a massive 195-run partnership, taking the game away from India. Brook smashed 111 runs off 98 balls, while Root made 105. India did strike back after tea, with Mohammed Siraj and Prasidh Krishna picking up wickets and slowing the scoring. The match was paused due to bad light and rain, with England at 339/6, just 35 runs away from a record win.

Fritz fights through to reach ATP Toronto Masters quarters
Taylor Fritz battled into Monday morning before finally getting past Czech Jiri Lehecka with a 7-6 , 6-7 , 7-6 victory in three hours to reach the quarter-finals of the ATP Toronto Masters. Fritz fights through to reach ATP Toronto Masters quarters The US second seed finished off a complete matched set of Masters 1000 quarter-finals as the last piece of the puzzle fell into place in Canada. The late-night marathon lasted 39 games without a break of serve, with 15 aggregate break points going begging. Fritz delivered two aces in the final-set tiebreaker on his way to the narrow win, moving into the last eight as Lehecka drove long. "Making all the Masters quarters is really cool," Fritz said. "It shows consistency. "Today I had to accept that parts of my game were just not there. I was bailed out by a lot of first serves, but I was making too many mistakes." Fellow American Ben Shelton earned a second chance after Flavio Cobillo failed to serve out their match, with the fourth seed finally securing a somewhat contentious 6-4, 4-6, 7-6 win. The pair had words after the match, which Shelton characterised as nothing serious. " he made a gesture it was not directed at me so we are cool," Shelton said. The winner, who now plays Alex de Minaur, earned his 100th ATP-level win after nearly two and a half hours, firing an ace on his second match point to wrap up a place in the last eight for a third straight tournament after Wimbledon and Washington. "It was a difficult match, I was down and out a break in the third set. But I gave myself a second chance. It was an absolute war not an easy one," Shelton said. "I was not hitting my spots on serve that well. I would do things differently. But coming through at the end speaks to my mental toughness and being scrappy." De Minaur pushed his ATP winning streak to seven matches as he fended off Frances Tiafoe 6-2, 4-6, 6-4,. The Australian won the Washington title on Sunday before plunging into the chaotic schedule at Toronto, where play began on the weekend and will continue through Thursday. De Minaur added his voice to the growing chorus of player complaints about the new 12-day Masters calendar, which will see play start in Cincinnati this week before Canada completes its unorthodox Thursday night final. The Australian said he wasn't helped by a third-round walkover which gave him three straight days off in the middle of the tournament. "I didn't enjoy having so much time. The body is used to going and going ," he said after ousting Tiafoe in just under two and a half hours. "It was almost like it switched off, I had to focus to switch it back on. I had to tell myself I was still playing a tournament still competing. "I'm proud of the effort today." De Minaur has now beaten Tiafoe in three of four meetings. He profited from nearly 50 unforced errors off the American's racquet while overcoming a serving slump in the second set and early into the third. "It was never going to be easy. He has got the ability to switch it on whenever he wants. It was tricky to put him away," De Minaur said, adding that the hot, windy conditions made it even trickier. "I was just happy to sneak away with this win," he said after booking a seventh quarter-final of the season. Sixth seed Andrey Rublev, runner-up last year when the tournament was held in Montreal, reached his 14th Masters quarter-final 6-7 , 7-6 , 3-0 when Spaniard Alejandro Davidovich Fokina was forced to retire with possible cramping. Both men ended the battle with 37 unforced errors, with sixth seed Rublev to play Fritz for a semi-final spot. str/js This article was generated from an automated news agency feed without modifications to text.
