Ben Stokes: The Indian team has a 2-1 lead in the five-Test series against England. Team India defeated England by 434 runs in the third Test match, which was the biggest victory in the history of India’s Test cricket. In this match, the bowlers and batsmen performed amazingly for India. Rohit Sharma, Ravindra Jadeja and Yashasvi Jaiswal scored centuries in the match for India. England’s spin bowlers have not proved to be that effective. Now England captain Ben Stokes can do a big job to make a comeback in the series.
Stokes can bowl in the fourth test match
England had to face crushing defeats in the second and third test matches against India. According to the report of ESPNcricinfo, Ben Stokes can bowl in the fourth test and fifth match. Stokes has not yet bowled against India in the current series. He has been away from bowling for the last 8 months. He bowled against Australia at Lord’s in June 2023.
Ben Stokes said that I am not saying yes nor no. But I have always been optimistic about most things. There will be a long discussion with the medical team to ensure that I am not at any major risk. I was able to bowl at 100 percent in a practice match. Which made me feel very good. I thought I could bowl in the game
McCullum said this
England’s Test team coach Brendon McCullum said it is good that he is really getting to the point where he feels he can bowl. But he will not bowl till then. Unless he feels that he is completely fit to bowl.
Stokes has taken so many wickets in test matches
If England captain Ben Stokes bowls in the fourth and fifth Test matches, then England’s bowling attack can get a boost. In the third test match, the England team had two pacers in the playing eleven. Whereas Joe Root, Tom Hartley and Rehan Ahmed played the role of spinners. England’s fast bowlers could not make much impact in the match against India. On the other hand, Stokes has so far taken 197 wickets for England.
