IND vs Eng | ‘Ben Stokes behaved like a bad child’: East-India cricketer Slam England captain. Cricket news
After India’s gritty draw in the fourth Test in Manchester, former cricketer Sanjay Manjrekar praised the team for the production of “Warriors” and did not return to criticizing England captain Ben Stokes, calling his response to the last day drama and refused to accept a draw after India’s refusal.To maintain its hopes to survive the series, India made a monumental attempt to reject England that looked like a certain win. The centuries of Captain Shubman Gill, Ravindra Jadeja and Washington Sundar broke England’s speed and shook the visually invasive and composed Stokes.As soon as the match reached the last hour, Stokes approached the Indian camp with a handshake offer, hoping India to agree to a draw. But the Indian batsmen captured their land, which was determined to see Jadeja and Sundar to reach their personal milestones before calling one day. The decision ignored the England players, who fired oral shots on the Indian pair and put a blind half-incomplete bowling attempt as they used to air the day and conserve energy.Speaking on ‘Match Center Live’ on Giostar, Manjrekar appreciated India’s patience and said how England, Stokes and Brendon McCullum’s ‘Bajball’ philosophy, is not used to play for a draw – and of course not twice in a series.“I think what happened was the right sum of what happened-a draw that feels like a victory. And yet, this young Indian batting line-up surprises. You hope that KL will be partnership to see Rahul and Shubman Gill, but that stand was broken early during the day. However, India produced the match once again, which was a brilliant matching. Finally, what we saw was disappointment with a team that is used to dominate the house. It is rare to see England systematic for a draw twice in the Bazball era. Remember, this is the first time Ben Stokes left his principle of batting first after winning the toss – and it happened against India. This draw came against India, without any weather intervention. It says a lot, “Manjrekar said.

It changes India’s thinking. They will no longer consider an additional batsman. Instead, they can start looking at Kuldeep Yadav for the next test. The effect of this partnership. Beautiful probably now lives at number five. If Dhruv Juraral plays in the next match, he may have to slot in a position, “he said.Washington Sundar has had a remarkable impact in the series so far, scoring 205 runs in six innings at an average of 51.25, including a century.
