Former India cricketer Manoj Tiwary has criticised Test captain Shubman Gill, claiming he is trying to imitate Virat Kohli’s aggressive on-field behaviour. Tiwary said Gill’s confrontations during the Lord’s Test against England, including verbal spats with Zak Crawley and Ben Duckett, affected his batting as India slipped to a 2-1 series deficit. He argued Gill’s aggression was unnecessary and detracted from his performance, citing similar behaviour in the IPL. Tiwary urged Gill to focus on winning matches rather than verbal exchanges. India faces England in the crucial Manchester Test from July 23 as the series continues. (PC: India Today)
