Sorry for inconvenience... but just get on with it: Jajodia

OTH sets of teams have been complaining about the Dukes in the ongoing series.

The trend continued on Friday as Shubman Gill engaged in a heated discussion with one of the on-field umpires, Sharfuddoula, over its quality.

The second new ball India were given on Thursday night lasted for 63 legal deliveries before it refused to go through the rings. The replaced ball also got the boot just after 48 legal deliveries as it also failed the test. Former England pacer Stuart Broad added to the debate with a post on social media.

Incidentally, the latest referendum on the Dukes was happening in the backdrop of Dilip Jajodia's visit to Lord's. The managing director of British Cricket Balls Ltd, Dukes' parent company, said: "Nothing is wrong with the ball as we make the ball to assignment. It's made with natural raw materials like leather, cork and rubber. A huge amount of technical ability has to go into making it. Now, unfortunately, cricket balls are a unique product, unlike a football, where you can't test it. The testing is in play," he told a few reporters on Friday.
