The Indo-England Test series started from June 20. After two Tests, the series is on par with one each, while the third Test is being played at Lord’s ground from July 10. The series is going to be about a month, in which there has been a lot of controversy over the ball. Let us know that ‘Dukes Ball’ is used in Test matches to be held in England. The same ball is being used in the Lord’s ENG Lord’s Test, on which Shubman Gill was also angry.
Why is the dispute happening?
In the last two matches of the series, ‘Dux Ball’ has remained the center of discussion. When the new ball came in hand, Jasprit Bumrah started wreaking havoc on the second day. Bumrah had taken 3 wickets within just 14 balls, but after that the Indian team could not take any wickets in the first session. Actually, only after 10.3 overs, ‘Dux Ball’ started losing its shape and only after 10.3 overs, the ball started appearing very old. England veteran bowler Stuart Broad has also been criticizing the balls used in England since 2020.
In this series, not only India but also England players have been complaining about ‘Dux Ball’ that the shape of this ball is changing very quickly. Not only the shape of the ball, but Indian captain Shubman Gill has said that the ball is falling soft very quickly. At the same time, England captain Ben Stokes has said that any team who comes to England starts having problems with the shape of the ball.
At the same time, Rishabh Pant, the vice -captain of the Indian Test team, has also slammed the ball on the field. He also expressed displeasure and said that this ‘Dux Ball’ is already changing the shape before time.
