Dropped catches, middle-order failures cost India Test

Leeds, June 24 (UNI) India captain Shubman Gill today termed the Headingley Test a “brilliant contest” despite his side suffering a five-wicket defeat to England, citing dropped catches, lower-order batting failures, and missed opportunities as key factors behind the loss.
Reflecting on the result, Gill admitted that India had their moments. “We had our chances, we dropped catches and our lower-order didn't contribute enough,” he said after the match. “But I’m proud of the team – overall a good effort.”
India had contemplated setting England a target of around 430 and declaring earlier, but faltered towards the end of their second innings. “Yesterday we were thinking around 430 odd and declare. Unfortunately, we didn’t score runs at the end, which always makes it difficult,” he added.
