Stokes’ big statement regarding the pitch
Before the fourth match of the Test series, when Stokes was asked how the Ranchi pitch was, he said that I don’t know, I have never seen anything like this before so I have no idea. I don’t know what could happen. Ben Stokes’ reaction seemed to be that the Ranchi pitch was beyond his understanding and he did not want to say anything about it. He further said that the pitch looks quite different from both ends. If you look at the other side from the opposite end it looks completely different.
Ben Stokes also clearly said in his statement that the pitch of Ranchi looks completely different from the pitches of India. He said that this pitch is different from what I am used to seeing, especially in India. In the changing rooms it looks green and grassy, ​​but then you go out there in front and look and it looks different. This pitch is quite brittle and has a lot of cracks.
Team India will have its eyes on series victory
India has given rest to its star bowler Jasprit Bumrah for this match to be played against England. BCCI has taken such a decision regarding his workload management. In such a situation, there is sure to be a change in the playing 11 of Team India. Rohit Sharma would be trying to win this match and win the series, but it will not be an easy task for him. Even before this match, many senior players are walking out. In such a situation, it will not be an easy task for Rohit Sharma to lead an entirely young team to victory. On the other hand, Ben Stokes will be eyeing to level the series, so that the series can be decided in Dharamshala.
