After executing an amazing defensive push, Ben Stokes was removed with six runs from 33 balls due to a magical moment.
The opening test of the five-game test series between India and England is being played at Hyderabad’s Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium. England began to bat first and finished their first innings with a score of 246. India responded with 436, taking a commanding lead thanks to fifty-score efforts from Yashavi Jaiswal, KL Rahul, and Ravindra Jadeja.
England fought valiantly to set a competitive total and win the match as their second innings got underway. Following the fall of the fourth wicket, the English captain took the crease. He looked good at first, playing the defense and waiting his turn.
On the other hand, India’s Ravi Ashwin was a constant threat thanks to his excellent spin bowling, which featured flight, dip, and turn. The captain tried his hardest, but Ashwin eventually got rid of him with a brilliant ball that was a real corker. The ball was flung up neatly in the middle, making contact with the top and upending the surface. Stokes was drawn forward by it, and as it gripped and spun past the outside edge, it crashed into the off-stump.
Thanks to a fantastic century from Ollie Pope, who is batting at 127, England is currently leading the Test match. The thirty-one-year-old Ben Foakes partners with him at the crease. They have established an 89-run partnership together. England wants to add to their existing 93-run lead in order to put pressure on the Indian squad, who will be batting in the second inning, where batting will undoubtedly be tough.
In test cricket, Ashwin has now eliminated Stokes 12 times with this dismissal. Reactions from fans all over the world flooded social media as Ravichandran Ashwin displayed his wizardry.
The admirers reacted to Ravichandran Ashwin’s outstanding performance as follows:
BEN STOKES BATTING NA AA JAAYE 🤌🏻😭
