Got first wicket after 6 months, such an accident happened with Team India in 7 years
India vs England 3rd Test Rajkot : The third match of the Test series being played between India and England has started. Out of the two matches played so far, both the teams have won one match each and the series is currently tied. This match is considered very important in the 5 match series. In this match being played in Rajkot, Indian captain Rohit Sharma won the toss and decided to bat first. But the top order of Team India proved it wrong. Not only this, the England bowler who was yearning for a wicket in the Test for the last 6 months also got the wicket and destroyed the Indian innings.
Yashasvi Jaiswal, Shubman Gill and Rajat Patidar disappointed
After winning the toss, opener Yashasvi Jaiswal came out to bat along with captain Rohit Sharma. But Jaiswal, who had scored a double century in the last match, could not score much runs this time and was out on only ten runs. He was dismissed by England fast bowler Mark Wood. Mark Wood played the first match of the series, but he did not get any success. After this he remained sitting out in the second test. But in the third test, captain Ben Stokes gave a chance to two pacers. Both Mark Wood and James Anderson were included in the team’s playing eleven.
Mark Wood got his last Test wicket in July 2023
Mark Wood had not taken any wicket for the last six months. The last time he got a wicket was on 27 July 2023. After this he did not play many test matches. After July, his direct entry was in the Hyderabad Test against India. But he did not get any success in that. Now when he is playing the third match of this series, he took wickets. That means he had to wait for a long time of about 6 months to take another Test wicket.
This is what happened to Team India after 2017
Meanwhile, the Indian team had lost three important wickets today at a small score of 33 runs. This is the first time since 2017 that Team India has lost three wickets within 35 runs at home. In the year 2017, against Sri Lanka, the Indian team had given away three wickets to the opposition team on a small score of 35 runs at Eden Gardens, Kolkata, since then this has never happened. Now the same situation has happened. While Yashasvi Jaiswal scored 10 runs, Shubman Gill, who came to play at number three, once again flopped, he could not open his account even after playing 9 balls and became the victim of Mark Wood at zero. After this, Rajat Patidar, playing only his second Test, returned to the pavilion after scoring only 5 runs. However, this time Rohit Sharma and Ravindra Jadeja tried their best to handle the innings.
