Positivity is a good thing, it is inspiring, but honesty is also important. The message of the team is that they should never doubt anything. How could they have done things differently during this time? Everyone is fantastic, everyone, players, coaches and support staff. But this cannot create an atmosphere of cruelty during the match. But you need to play good cricket after a break. So that the players are ready when needed. This will also help the players to get their form. I worry that this is a backroom team made up of cheerleaders. But sometimes with challenging players, tough questions need to be asked.

So far four matches of this series have been played, in which India has won the Test series by winning three matches.

Ben Stokes gave a big statement Let us tell you that in the press conference organized after the Ranchi Test match between India vs England, when Ben Stokes was asked about ruthlessness, he said – What is it, and how does it show itself. Everyone goes into the match with a good mindset. But when we do not get results then people say that we are not ruthless. I really don’t understand it yet. I think we just try to do what we think is the best way to win the match. It is a useless comment that we are not ruthless. I haven’t been able to understand what it means. Stokes further said- We want to win the series by winning every match we play. This is the first time we have lost a series, but we still have many series ahead of us. It is always disappointing to be on a losing team. Cricket is always a game of skill against skill.

(Image Source: AFP/BCCI) England’s Test tour of India 2024, IND vs ENG: Indian all-rounder Ravindra Jadeja (Ravindra Jadeja) has returned to the team after recovering from a hamstring injury and is ready to play the third Test of the ongoing five-match Test series against England. Ahead of the third Test match starting on February 15 at the Saurashtra Cricket Association Stadium in Rajkot, Ravindra Jadeja revealed the plan to stop the England cricket team’s baseball approach in Rajkot. The star all-rounder of the Indian cricket team said that the hosts will keep things simple and rely on their abilities to dominate the Rajkot Test against the Ben Stokes-led England cricket team. Keeping things simple will be important: Ravindra Jadeja According to The Indian Express, Ravindra Jadeja said at the press conference in Rajkot: “When the England batsmen are playing aggressive shots, you can start thinking ‘Oh, where should I bowl now. Bowlers start thinking about the next step, but for me it is important to keep things simple and bowl as per the plan.” Jadeja further said, “England has an aggressive style. It was not easy for earlier teams to play aggressive cricket in India, but England has changed this perception. They sometimes wreak havoc, sometimes fail, but that’s their way of playing.” We have to keep Plan B ready: Ravindra Jadeja The Indian all-rounder also said that India as a team will have to have Plan B ready. Jadeja said, “If the first plan does not give results then we will have to come up with Plan B.” Let us tell you, the India vs England Test series is currently tied at 1-1. Talking about the Rajkot pitch, Ravindra Jadeja said: “The track looks hard at the moment. I think it will be good for the batsmen in the beginning and then maybe it will gradually break down later on. Sometimes you get 36 wickets in 3 matches. Sometimes this doesn’t happen. It looks harsh to me right now, but hopefully it will be a good wicket.”

Suddenly, IPL came and ODI cricket also came and the crowd reduced. People are coming back now and want to watch (baseball). Ian Botham added: ‘At the end of the day you are the entertainer and if you want people to come to games, you have to entertain. They don’t want to see someone scoring 1.2 runs per hour, you just want to see guys dominating the game. You will lose a game or two here or there, but England have played 15 and won 12. England have now sold out all the games on all five days, which was absolutely unheard of. Test cricket is healthier now than it has been in a long time. The England cricket team had won the first test match against India by 28 runs. Then in the second test the team made a comeback and won by 106 runs. The third test match between the two is going to be very interesting.

Brendon McCullum and ben stokes (Image Credit- Twitter England Test cricket team captain Ben Stokes has given a big statement regarding baseball. He has also told what head coach Brendon McCullum thinks about this word. So if we tell you about the word baseball, it refers to the aggressive cricket played by England in the longest format of the game. This term was invented in the middle of the year 2022, when the English media used this term to describe the aggressive cricket played by the England cricket team in Test cricket. So, because of this game, England got excellent results in the home series against New Zealand and away series against Pakistan. But they had to be satisfied with a 2-2 draw in the Ashes series against Australia. On the other hand, before the first test match between India vs England in Hyderabad, Ben Stokes has given a big statement regarding baseball in an interview with Jio Cinema. Stokes says that the head coach is not fond of hearing this word. Ben Stokes gave a big statement regarding baseball Let us tell you that while talking to Geo Cinema, Stokes said – Baseball, this is a word which is prevalent in the media. But it’s a word we try to stay away from. Baez (Brendon McCullum) hates this word. We just try to say how the England team plays the match. On the other hand, if we tell you about this ongoing match in Hyderabad, the English team, which won the toss on the first day and batted first, has scored 215 runs at the loss of 8 wickets after 59 overs till the tea break. At present, Ben Stokes is present at the crease with 43 runs and Mark Wood with 7 runs.

Zaheer Khan gave a surprising statement about the England team and their baseball approach.

Zaheer Khan. (Photo Source: Twitter) In a special show titled ‘Insiders Preview India vs England’ on JioCinema, Zaheer Khan, Parthiv Patel and Pragyan Ojha provided an important insight into the upcoming series. He told what fans can expect from the exciting tournament ahead. They discussed England’s point of view. During this, he also shared his opinion regarding the importance of baseball, pitches and toss. Zaheer Khan: These days you don’t often see five Test match series happening. Baseball will remain in focus and we’ll see if England’s approach remains the same. The kind of pitches we will play on will definitely be another point of discussion. But both the teams will be desperate to prove their superiority. 2) Baseball has been quite successful but has not been tested in India yet Pragyan Ojha: Baseball involves playing fearless cricket and England try to gain a psychological edge by using this strategy. It will be difficult to implement baseball in India because it will not be easy to play Indian spinners or Jasprit Bumrah and other fast bowlers. 3) Keeping in mind the World Test Championship, with what approach will India enter this series? Parthiv Patel: I think the Indian team will aim for 5-0. I think they need a 4-0 win to top the WTC standings. If we look at the last cycle, India has won many tests abroad. I don’t think India needs to change its approach. It is the visiting teams who will have to come up with different strategies. It remains to be seen whether baseball will work here or not. If the ball spins, I don’t think it will work here because India have quality spinners including Ashwin, Jadeja, Axar and Kuldeep. 4) After defeating Pakistan 3-0, with what confidence will England enter this series? Pragyan Ojha: I think he will be very confident with the strategy that England has adopted. But they need a backup plan. Because the situation will not be the same as it was in Pakistan. The wickets were slightly better and suited the batsmen. The conditions here will be favorable for spinners. So how they deal with it will be very important. His performance in the first Test will decide the direction of the series. 5) What kind of pitches will be seen in this series? Parthiv Patel: I think every ground will have its own character. We can see similar tracks in Hyderabad and Vizag also. In Rajkot, if they prepare a good wicket, we can see a lot of runs being scored. Their fast bowlers may hope to get some help in Dharamsala. Winning the toss will also be important for them. If they lose the toss it will be very difficult for them to make a comeback.
