How Gautam Gambhir Helped Team India Pick Up Harry Brook's Wicket?

Team India entered the first ODI against England under pressure after losing the T20I series. One of the biggest reasons why India lost the T20Is is England's captain Harry Brook.

But Brook didn't have a great start to the series and was dismissed for just 1 run during the ENG vs IND 1st ODI. After Brook's wicket, a clip soon became viral on social media which started a debate around it. The fans started wondering about gautam gambhir role in Harry Brook wicket.

How Gautam Gambhir Helped India Pick Up Harry Brook Wicket?

Following the wicket of England captain Harry Brook, Prince Yadav was seen running in from the dressing room and he whispered a few words to the wicketkeeper KL Rahul. It is likely that India's head coach Gautam Gambhir might have sent a message through Prince.

In the next over, India's captain Shubman Gill handed over the ball to the team's premier bowler Jasprit Bumrah, who didn't take much long to pick up Brook's big wicket. Bumrah bowled a short of a length ball to Brook, which the batter edged through to Rohit Sharma at slip.

This wicket was a massive one considering Brook was India's tormentor during the T20I series. The England skipper showed why he is regarded as one of the best batsmen in the world as he top-scored with 229 runs in five matches at a staggering average of 114 and a strike rate of 214.

Batting at No. 3, he scored runs consistently at a high strike rate, taking India's bowlers to the cleaners. He was expected to play a key role in the IND vs ENG 1st ODI but couldn't get past Jasprit Bumrah.

Although his role seems to be safe as of now, he will be under pressure to produce positive results with the ODI World Cup coming up.
