Aakash Chopra on Ben Stokes Captaincy: The five-match Test series between India and England is being played in an exciting manner. The second match of the series was played in Visakhapatnam, in which India won by 106 runs. After the victory of Team India, the series is tied at 1-1.
After England’s shameful defeat in the second test match, cricket commentator Aakash Chopra is raising questions on the captaincy of Ben Stokes. Aakash Chopra says that Ben Stokes did not use his bowlers properly.
He could not understand the pitch – Aakash Chopra
After the Visakhapatnam Test, Aakash Chopra while talking on his YouTube channel said, ‘Do they (England) follow baseball approach in bowling also? They sometimes keep the field in a slightly new way. I like that because it makes you think again and again. However, apart from this, I do not see any aggressive captaincy.
Aakash Chopra also strongly condemned the decision of not using Rehan Ahmed in the first 60 overs of the second Test match against India. Aakash Chopra further said, ‘With his field placements and his usage of bowlers, the captaincy is not aggressive at all. On the first day, he did not use Rehan Ahmed for the first 60 overs. He forgot that he had a leg spinner.
Aakash Chopra also said that the England team could not understand the pitch properly. Also, Ben Stokes’ team had entered with a fast bowler. This decision of England is also very saddening to Akash Chopra. ,A big mistake was that you did not play two fast bowlers. You went with a fast bowler. And also wanted to go with an all-spin attack, This is a failure to understand the pitch.
