Royal Challengers Bengaluru (RCB) mentor Dinesh Karthik has shared multiple mistakes behind Team India’s 22-run loss to England in the third Test at Lord’s on Monday, July 14 as well. He shared that KL Rahul dropped in-form Jamie Smith on 5, who scored a half-century in the first innings. The veteran also slammed Team India for conceding
63 runs in extras across two innings as compared to 30 from England as well.

Speaking to Sky Sports Cricket YouTube Channel, Dinesh Karthik said: “The catch that KL Rahul dropped, Jamie Smith on 5 in the first innings. The fact that you’ve conceded 63 extras across two innings. How much do those things matter to you? Those are the conversations that you need to have.”

“Across five days, there are moments in the game where you could have definitely gone ahead, and India didn’t do it probably for the third time now in this series, but when they’ve really used their brains and stuck it out there like they did in Edgbaston, they found a way to get ahead and dominate a Test match. They were in a strong position but let go and the England team didn’t bat well, according to me, in the third innings as well,” he further added.

Former England captain Nasser Hussain picked Rishabh Pant’s run out as the turning point of the third Test as well.

“The Rishabh Pant run out just on the stroke of Lunch when Pant and KL were going so well. That run out when you look back will be absolutely vital in this game,” he stated.
