Do you think Virat Kohli’s absence will be for the upcoming testing series against England?
“He has made the number 18, is it not that? It would be a bit strange that no Indian shirt is looking at number 18 on the back, but he has been a class for him for a long time.”
Stokes, known for his own fierce competitive spirit, also revealed that he personally messed up Kohli after the news of his retirement.“I read her, saying that it is a shame not to play against her because I like to play against Virat. We both like to play against each other because we have the same mindset – this is a fight.”
