IND vs ENG: Ben Stokes gave a surprising statement after the band of ‘Baseball’ started playing
India has defeated England in the ongoing Test series. Ben Stokes (Image Credit- Twitter) Currently a five-match Test series is being played between India and England (IND vs ENG). So far four matches of this series have been played, in which India has won the Test series by winning three matches. At the same time, the performance of the England cricket team in Test cricket in India is being heavily criticized. In Test cricket, England plays attacking cricket, which the cricket world knows as ‘Baseball’. It has proved to be a miserable failure in India. After winning the first match of the Test series, England has faced defeat in three consecutive matches. So now team captain Ben Stokes has given a big reaction to this performance of England. 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.
IND vs ENG, 4th Test: Know what the player of the match and captains of both the teams said?
India won the fourth test match by 5 wickets. India vs England, 4th Test (Image Credit- Twitter X) The fourth Test match of the five-match Test series between India and England (IND vs ENG) took place in Ranchi. Let us tell you that on the fourth day of this match, India has defeated England by 5 wickets. So with this victory, India has also taken an unassailable 3-1 lead in the five-match Test series. Also, let us tell you that young batsman Shubman Gill and wicketkeeper Dhruv Jurel played important roles in India winning this match. Both of them took the team out of the stressful situation of the match and also made an unbroken partnership of 72 runs for the sixth wicket. Gill remained unbeaten on 52* and Jurrell remained unbeaten on 39* in the match. Apart from this, he also played an inning of 90 runs in the first innings of this match. So for this brilliant performance he was awarded the Player of the Match award. Let us know who said what after the end of the match- Player of the match Dhruv Jurel said I play as per the demand of the situation. Even in the first innings we needed to score runs, we knew we had to bat last and so any runs would be important. I was involved in a few partnerships, so credit to everyone who stayed and added runs. I just saw the ball and then reacted to it, not thinking too far ahead. The conversation was good (with Shubman Gill in the second innings), we broke it into 10-run sets and started developing partnerships. Losing team captain Ben Stokes said I think it was a great test match. If you look at the scoreboard, it will say India won by 5 wickets, but the way things unfolded, there were ups and downs every day, it was not given credit for that. I can only be proud of our team, we have some inexperienced spinners (Bashir and Hartley) but I am proud of their efforts, they came here without a lot of experience and the way they bowled, I can’t . Part of my captaincy is to give the youngsters the freedom to enjoy and play in some difficult and intimidating conditions in India. I’m a big fan of Test cricket, the amount of youth coming into both teams creates good conditions for the future of Test cricket. If you look at yesterday, anything was possible, it was incredibly difficult to bat against the spinners (Ashwin, Jadeja and Kuldeep), it became difficult to score runs and it became difficult to rotate the strike. We knew the pitch would not get better than what we saw today. I don’t think criticism of Joe Root is fair, he has played a lot of cricket and has scored 12,000 Test runs. He is incredible, so is Bashir, what a story, what a journey, taking 8 wickets with 5 wickets against India after playing very little cricket is fantastic. You want to win series, you…

Brad Hogg scolded Ben Stokes for blaming DRS for the defeat, gave a big statement
Out of the three matches played against India, England has been able to win only 1. Brad Hogg slams Ben Stokes (Image Credit- Twitter Currently a five-match Test series is being played between India and England (IND vs ENG). Three matches of the series have been played and Team India is currently leading 2-1. Under the leadership of Ben Stokes, England won the first Test match, but in the next two matches, England could not perform well and had to face defeat. On the other hand, Jack Crawley’s dismissal by the umpire in the third Test match had become a topic of much discussion in the cricket world. So after the match, England captain Ben Stokes started making statements regarding umpire’s call and DRS. However, now a big statement has come out from former Australian spinner and veteran cricketer Brad Hogg regarding Stokes blaming the defeat on DRS. Brad Hogg gave a big statement regarding Ben Stokes Let us tell you that 53 year old Brad Hogg said through a video uploaded on his YouTube channel – The more I think about it, the more I see a slight mistake in the technique of umpire’s call. I think England had to suffer the consequences of this in the third match. But the opposition team may also have to suffer this. Stop complaining about DRS. It is equally equal for both sides. Hogg further said about Stokes not bowling – Ben Stokes’ bowling is good for England, but they do not want to put too much pressure on him. Keeping the T20 World Cup in mind, if he is not a good all-rounder, it could prove costly for them. It was good to see that the coach and support staff took control of the situation.
IND vs ENG: Like always, England announced the playing XI a day before, but this time…
England Cricket Team. (Image Source: Getty Images) After winning the first Test match played in Hyderabad, England faced consecutive defeats against India in the second and third Test matches played in Visakhapatnam and Rajkot respectively. After losing both the matches, his baseball strategy is being criticized a lot. From fans to former England captain, everyone is raising questions on the captaincy of Ben Stokes. Looking to bounce back, England are set for the fourth Test to be played in Ranchi. He has made two important changes in the playing XI for this match. To rectify the bowling problems faced in Rajkot, he has included Shoaib Bashir in the team in place of Rehan Ahmed. Additionally, Ollie Robinson has returned in place of Mark Wood, anticipating spin-friendly conditions later in the match. Now all eyes are on young Bashir, because England Trying to get back on the winning track again. Both the teams are expected to face challenge on the Ranchi pitch. Spinners are likely to play an important role as the match progresses. All eyes are on England as they want to turn the tide in the ongoing Test series against India. It was believed that Jonny Bairstow, who had flopped in three consecutive matches, could be dropped and in his place an additional spinner or Dan Lawrence could get a chance in the playing XI. However, the team management, captain and coach have expressed confidence in their experienced batsman. In such a situation, the fourth test match is going to be very important for Jonny Bairstow. If he is not able to score runs in the fourth test, then it will be very difficult for him to make a place in the team. England’s playing XI for the fourth test match: Jack Crawley, Ben Duckett, Ollie Pope, Joe Root, Jonny Bairstow, Ben Stokes (c), Ben Foakes (wk), Tom Hartley, Ollie Robinson, James Anderson and Shoaib Bashir.
