Big statement of Ben Stokes

Stokes said, “According to me, this (debate) is not included in the things we will start on the ground. I do not think the players of England and India are thinking of doing so. Rather, there is a time in Test cricket when the match is at a thrilling turn and the atmosphere gets hot. This big series has a lot of pressure to do well on both teams.

He added, “As I said, this is not the thing that we will try to start. This will make our attention shifted from the things that really need to be done on the field. But we will not be left behind. But we will not let any opposition team try to be aggressive towards us. I think most of the teams do not do the same, so we do not have the only team to do so. But this series has been a fantastic. Has been high. “

We put full strength on the Indian team

In the third Test played at Lord’s, Harry Brook had reacted sharply when he was staying repeatedly to spoil the time in the final over. The next day too, there was a war of words between the players of both the teams. Stokes said, “It is natural that that night when Jack and Ben Docket had to go down to bat, after which these things started. We got the benefit of bowling in the last in that test, which we won. We won not only our skills but also with energy.
