Unlike certain cricket commentators who criticized Shubman Gill's aggressive demeanor as captain, former England all-rounder Moeen Ali had no issue with it. At Lord's, the young Indian captain engaged in heated on-field exchanges with the English players, which reminded people of Virat Kohli, who had done the same in the past in England's den. The Lord's conclusion, though, was not in India's favor, and Gill's aggressiveness was immediately criticized by Indian and English reviewers.

The audience was captivated by Gill's on-field altercation with Crawley late on Day 3 at Lord's, where the Indian captain didn't pull any punches and used some foul language. Gill wanted to get another over in before stumps since India had tied England's first-innings score. However, Crawley continued to retreat and even called for the physio after being struck in the glove, intentionally prolonging the game. Gill's patience ran out as he was pushed to the breaking point, and he was heard on the stump microphone yelling, "Get some b***s, grow some f**king b***s," signaling a fiery conclusion to the day and setting the tone for what came after.

Gill received support from Moeen, who is now playing in the Global Super League, who said he was merely attempting to be competitive. But the former England all-rounder also claimed that Gill's aggression may have awakened England's fighting spirit, which ultimately brought out the best in the home team.

I believe it's alright; I think he was simply attempting to be aggressive and try to fight, much like Virat Kohli. However, you have shown the best aspects of England, including its battle and its capacity for brutality. I believe that the players displayed the opposite side of England. "I don't understand why he gets criticized; it's great for the series," Moeen said in an interview with chosen media on the sidelines of the GPL, which is currently streaming on FanCode.

Moeen Ali: "I don't believe they can accommodate Kuldeep Yadav."

Meanwhile, there has been a lot of discussion over Kuldeep Yadav's omission from India's starting lineup for the first three Tests, especially considering the apparent difficulties the English batsmen have had against wrist-spin. The omission of a real wicket-taking option in India's lineup has caused controversy, and some have wondered if India missed a trick. Washington Sundar has been supported by the team management over him in the past two Tests, and he has been able to defend his selection. The left-handed batter had a critical knock with the bat at Edgbaston and took four wickets in the second innings of the Lord's Test.

In response to the discussion around Kuldeep's absence, Moeen Ali expressed his desire to see the wrist-spinner play a game. Moeen believed that there was no simple way to integrate Kuldeep into the current lineup, given Washington Sundar's performance with the ball and Jadeja's all-around contribution with both bat and ball.

"I'd like to see him on the team, but I'm not sure who he would be replacing. Jadeja has batted well, and Washi has bowled well. "It's hard to get Kuldeep Yadav into the team; I'd like to see him in, but I don't think they can accommodate him," Moeen said.
