“Virat Kohli without Rohit Sharma …”: Ben Stokes’s big warning in front of India-England Test series

Despite the absence of Virat Kohli and Rohit Sharma during the five-prone series against England, it will be equally malicious as India, which is near the “batsmen’s battery”, they, they feel, all-rounder Ben Stokes, who will lead the domestic side during the fierce series starting from June 20. The weight of fighting emotion and competition on the field.

Both Rohit and Kohli retired from the longest format earlier this month.

In a video posted by England and Wales Cricket Board, Stokes said, “One thing about India is the battery of batsmen; this is just unreliable. The time I have spent in the IPL, they have found batsmen leaving from there … I can’t say a word on it in this interview, but you know what I mean,” I have been said in a video posted by England and Wales Cricket Board.

“You can never take any Indian team lightly, even if they are without their two great batsmen.” Stokes said that their bowlers would be on Onses to put India under pressure in the opening test.

He said, “We always get out of the opposition at the beginning of the Test match and then see how we adapt throughout the game because it moves forward. But I know they (India) have got two big retirees. They have been such a important part of the Indian team and have all the success,” he said.

“It’s going to be a long tough heat. Five Test matches are always, always against India and tomorrow (one-half test against Zimbabwe) is the beginning of tone settings.” Kohli’s prestigious stature and his competition have made a great difference in the success of the team over the years and Stokes said he would personally remember him on the field.

“What will India remember, perhaps their fight in the game, their competition, desire to win. They have made the number 1 (jersey), is it not that?” So, we have not seen No.18 behind any Indian shirt. It is ashamed that he is not playing against him because we are both playing against each other, both of us have the same mindset on the field “that is incredible. There is no doubt that he has been highly praised for him in India, the players here are definitely praised for him. He is really good against England … he is a class player,” he said. “

Stokes said that he would remember Kohli how difficult he can make the cover drive.

“(That) just wow. He is probably someone who will remember how hard he kills the ball through the cover. He will be the cover drive one.” Giving an update on his rehabilitation, Stokes, who faced tears during the third test against New Zealand in December, stated that he made a lot of effort to return to peak fitness.

“Very excited to go. The final game was in December. Everything is really well gone. I worked hard to reach where I am. There is a lot of enthusiasm around me, coming back to the field.”
