Former England all-rounder Moeen Ali believes Shubman Gill’s combative on-field approach during the Lord’s Test was similar to Virat Kohli’s blazing energy and may have made England more frightening.
The Indian captain Gill and Mohammed Siraj gave England batters a mouthful at the Home of Cricket.
As England grabbed a 2-1 lead in the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy with two games left, the tourists fell by 22 runs after upping the intensity.
“I think it’s fine. Like Virat, I think he’s trying to be competitive before a fight, which is good. But the other team, I think you’ve brought out England’s finest and the fight and beast it can be “Moeen stated on the sidelines of the Global Super League (GSL) 2025, where he represents Guyana Amazon Warriors.
I think it’s a different England. They showed all players that series wins are great. Why is it criticised? “he added.
Well played on the wicket: Moeen Ali
Moeen liked England’s third-inning batting at Lord’s. His opinion is that the third innings were marginally easier to bat in than the fourth. India took a 193-run lead after England was knocked out for 192. Asian giants barely managed 170 runs before being defeated. Moeen praised KL Rahul for his first-inning century and second-inning 39.
I believe the Lord can do it. Even if batting seemed easy, there were always a few instances where it was difficult due to the ball. Rahul played well on that wicket. “It was a close game,” Moeen stated.
I think we were lucky—it was close. He said that England scored a few more runs in the third innings, which was easier than the fourth.
Moeen liked England’s batting on the Lord’s Test’s first morning when the ball was moving around.
The first morning at Lord’s, when it was doing more, I thought England handled it well. I thought being 387 in the first innings was a lot right “Moeen said.
