Currently, a five-match Test series is going on between India and England. England have taken a 1-0 lead in the series by winning the first Test match held in Hyderabad. So today from February 2, the second test match between the two teams is being played in Visakhapatnam.

Also, let us tell you that England won the Hyderabad Test match due to the brilliant innings of batsman Ollie Pope. On the other hand, now a big statement from former England cricket team captain Alastair Cook has come out on this brilliant innings of Pope. Cook says that there are 4-5 players in the English team who can play big innings like Pope.

Alastair Cook’s big statement came out

Let us tell you that in a discussion with TNT Sports, Alastair Cook said- Really, people who have not played much there, they saw them as very good cricketers, but normal cricketers who can be beaten. Yes, to do this he just needed to play one amazing innings, but with the talent in England’s batting line-up, there are four-five batsmen who can play big innings like Ollie Pope.

Cook further said about winning the Hyderabad Test – There are some great players in the Indian team. But because of his status and IPL money, you see him as a half-god. Apparently he is treated like a half-god.

Sometimes it can play with your mind. On the tours I went to India, we were behind in the series, but now it is difficult to change that. On this tour I really think the England players will look at each other and say we can compete.
