The final match of the three-match Test series between England and Sri Lanka is starting from September 6 at the Kennington Oval.
England defeated Sri Lanka by 190 runs in the second Test match played at Lord’s Stadium in London and took a 2-0 lead in the three-match Test series. So far, the performance of all the England players has been very good in this series. However, England’s stand-in captain Ollie Pope has so far failed to make a mark in this series.
Let us tell you, Ollie Pope has scored 6 runs, 6 runs, 1 run and 17 runs in the Test series being played against Sri Lanka so far. Ollie Pope’s captaincy may have been excellent in this Test series, but the pressure of it has been seen on him in batting. However, Ollie Pope believes that he will definitely look to score big in the third Test between these two teams starting on September 6.
Ollie Pope said, ‘I would not like to hide anything about the fact that both my matches with the bat have been very bad. However, cricket is like this. Sometimes the form is in your favor and sometimes you are going through a bad time. But good players are those who forget it and make a fresh start from the next week. I hope that I will be able to score big in the upcoming match.
I have learned a lot in the last two matches and I will try to improve my game even more. Especially at the beginning of my innings. Whatever opportunities I get, I will use them in a great way.
Ben Stokes told me a lot about criticism before the series: Ollie Pope
Pope further said, ‘I am not at all surprised that people are criticizing me. Ben Stokes told me this before the series that you are the captain and you will have to face a lot of criticism. There are many voices that you hear and people say a lot of wrong things about you. However, I do not care about all these things at all.
For me, I would like to spend as much time as possible with people who believe in me and recognise my ability. When I went to the West Indies and scored runs in that series, people were still saying things about me. I really don’t care about anyone.’
