IND vs Eng 1st Test Turning Point: Under the captaincy of Shubman Gill, the Indian cricket team could win in the leads, over the last day overcast condition was in favor of the Indian bowlers but could not take advantage of it. Ben Docket played a brilliant innings of 149 runs, for which he was adjudged Player of the Match. Two main bowlers Jaspreet Bumrah and Mohammad Siraj did not get any wickets. But we are telling you about that 1 second mistake, which had not happened, perhaps the result would have been something else.
India’s batsmen created history in the leads, the first time it was when 5 centuries have come in India’s innings. In the first innings, Shubman Gill, Yashasvi Jaiswal and Rishabh Pant had a century. In the second innings, Rishabh Pant and KL Rahul had scored a century. However, the lower -order batsmen disappointed, due to which India could not set a big target. In the second innings, India’s last 6 wickets fell within just 31 runs.
On the last day of the Leeds Test, England had to score 350 runs to win, which was not easy in overcast condition. India needed 10 wickets to win, but the bowlers were unsuccessful and they did not get the support of the fielders either.
What was the turning point
Ben Docket and Jack Crolye shared a 188 -run partnership for the first wicket, after which Docket played a match -winning innings of 149 runs. But it would not have happened if Yashasvi Jaiswal would have catch the catch. Yes, Ducchk was playing on the score of 97, then he played a big shot off Mohammad Siraj. The ball went into the air and also reached the ball and reached the ball. He further went to catch catch by diving, the ball also came in his hand but got shocking. Siraj was also very angry at this.
When Yashasvi Jaiswal left the catch, England still needed 200 runs to win. In such a situation, if he had caught the catch, then the result of the match could have been something else. Because after this Ben Docket added 52 more runs.

One of the reasons for defeat in the Leeds Test was also India’s poor fielding, Yashasvi Jaiswal left 4 catches alone. Many Miss Fields were also made from other players. A catch was also missed from the famous Krishna, wicket -keeper Rishabh Pant also lost some opportunities.
