Shameful record of Ben Stokes, Joe Root and Anderson, would not have even thought this
India vs England 4th Test : When the England team came to tour India, the players must have harbored many dreams. In order to defeat Team India in India itself, they had to defeat England. Even though the Indian team lost the first match of the series, this defeat served as an alarm and after this the Indian team has won three consecutive matches one after the other. Now India has also captured the series. Meanwhile, if we talk about England, then for the first time under the captaincy of Ben Stokes, this team has lost three consecutive matches. Not only this, apart from Ben Stokes, Joe Root and James Anderson have together made a new record, which can be called nothing less than shameful. Let us know what it is.
baseball made the game
Ever since Ben Stokes became the captain of the England Test team and Brendon Mukkulam took over as the coach, the style of play of the team has completely changed. The team is also playing the Test in T20 style, i.e. come and kill. This is called baseball, which you must have heard discussed a lot in recent times. The team could not understand that this may work in some matches, but not in every match. At least this formula can never work in India, where the pitches take so many turns. Now if we tell you that record, three players from England have made it together. Till now, the foreign player who has lost the most Test matches in India was Australia captain Ricky Ponting. Ricky Ponting lost 10 test matches in India during his test career.
3 players from England joined the list together
Ben Stokes, James Anderson and Joe Root were lagging far behind in this matter, but three consecutive defeats have brought these three in the same list. That means, apart from Ricky Ponting, Joe Root, Ben Stokes and James Anderson have also lost 10 matches in India and are jointly on top in the list of foreign players who have lost the most matches. The loneliness that Ricky Ponting might have been feeling must have gone away now. However, let us tell you that the player who has lost the most test matches in India is India’s Sachin Tendulkar, but here we are talking only about foreign players.
Ponting’s record can be broken, Bairstow is also not far away
Not only this, the last match of the series is still left, which will be played in Dharamshala from March 7. It is believed that along with India, the England team can also make some changes in the playing eleven of the last test. No matter how many changes are made, it should be almost certain that at least one of these three will play, and if India beats England in the Dharamshala Test, then they will be leaving behind one player, Ricky Ponting. If he overtakes them, his number of defeats in India will increase from 10 to 11. Keep one more thing in mind. That is, Jonny Bairstow is also not far in this list, he has lost 9 tests in India so far. If they play the next match and lose, their number of losses will also increase to 10. It will be interesting to see which England players play the next match and what is the result after that.
