Following Washington Sundar's vital breakthrough for the team in the second session of Day 4 of the Lord's Test against England, India's head coach Gautam Gambhir was unable to contain his feelings. Joe Root, the outstanding batsman, was trapped by Sundar around his legs and forced to retire after hitting 40 runs. As soon as the previous England captain was fired, Gambhir couldn't contain his joy and let out a mouthful from the balcony of Lord's Cricket Ground.

Root had previously been in a close situation when an on-field umpire named Paul Reiffel failed to lift his finger after a Mohammed Siraj delivery struck him on the pads, so Gambhir's response is not unexpected. India requested a review, but the replays revealed that the umpire had made the decision.

Root was instrumental in England setting a tough goal for India, and he also got a century in the first innings. But Gambhir couldn't contain his joy when Sundar gave India the necessary breakthrough.

Root was cleaned up by Sundar on the fourth ball of the 43rd over, ending the partnership between the former England captain and Stokes for the fifth wicket. The World The second Test batter was bowled behind his legs.

The ball glided in and managed to slip between Root's bat and the leg-stump, making a loud noise. Root made 40 runs on 96 balls at the crease, including 1 four.

A few minutes after that, Washington Sundar picked up his second wicket by smashing the stumps of Jamie Smith, another player who was playing well. After hitting 8 runs off 14 deliveries, the English wicket-keeper returned to the cabin.
