Ben Stokes, who had rescued the English team from trouble on many occasions, failed to do so this time.
On the fourth day of the Visakhapatnam Test match played between India and England, the Indian bowlers took the early wickets and pushed England on the backfoot and the visiting team had to face a crushing defeat. Ben Stokes, who had rescued the English team from trouble on many occasions, failed to do so this time.
He had to return to the pavilion due to a tremendous throw by Shreyas Iyer. On Monday, on the fourth day of play, Shreyas Iyer sensationally ran out the England captain. After this he copied Stokes’ ‘finger celebration’. As soon as Ben Stokes was declared out, Iyer looked at the camera and pointed his index finger.
Actually, there seemed to be a good partnership between Ben Stokes and Fox, but in the 53rd over, Fox tried to take a single and Shreyas Iyer showed pace. He picked up the ball while fielding at short mid-wicket and threw it straight at the stumps.
After this, India got a big wicket as the third umpire gave Stokes out. In this way the partnership of 26 runs between the England captain and Ben Fox ended. Stokes could score only 11 runs. There was no limit to the happiness of the Indian team after getting this wicket.

As a result, the visiting team was all out for 292 runs after lunch and lost by 106 runs. By defeating England, the Indian team has leveled the five-match series 1-1.
