Shubman Gill said about the poor fielding of the team in the Leeds Test, ‘I have not taken any catch in the slip for the last few days because I was paying more attention to batting, but it was nice to catch that catch (Ben Docket Catch). Fielding is very important and we discussed this in a team meeting. If our fielding in the previous game (Leeds Test) had been even half, the result would have been different.
Let us know that the Indian team had to face defeat by 5 wickets in the Leeds Test match against England. Due to this, the Indian team lagged behind 0-1 in the series. The fielding of Indian players in the Leeds Test match was very poor, which has also been discussed by Captain Shubman Gill.
