Despite their efforts, the Indian bowlers managed to deliver just one over as England opener Zak Crawley employed tactics to slow down the game. On the fifth ball of the first over, bowled by Jasprit Bumrah, Crawley was struck on the gloves while attempting a defensive shot. He then summoned the team physio onto the field.
ENG vs IND: Frustrated by Crawley’s delay tactics, the Indian fielders responded with sarcastic applause. Meanwhile, Indian captain Shubman Gill was seen making a pointed gesture toward Crawley during the over, telling him to “Grow some balls.”
