Darren Gough Questions Joe Root’s ‘reckless’ Dismissal Following England’s Defeat In Second Test To India
Rajasekhara Reddy ACA: Former England fast-bowler Darren Gough questioned premier batter Joe Root’s ‘reckless’ way of getting out in England’s 106-run defeat to India in the second Test in Visakhapatnam. On day four of the match at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium on Monday, England showed the positivity of continuing their uber-attacking approach, but it wasn’t sufficient as they were bowled out for 292 in 69.2 overs.
Apart from Zak Crawley’s 73, no other batter could touch the 50-run mark in their fourth innings chase, as India squared the five-match series at 1-1. Root, batting with an injured right little finger, was attacking from the word go.
He went reverse-sweeping twice in his first four balls for boundaries off Ravichandran Ashwin, before smacking Axar Patel over long-off for six. His frenetic knock ended when he miscued a slog off Ashwin and the thick top edge was caught by short third man, falling for 16 off nine balls.
