The fourth Test match was played between England and India at the Old Trafford Stadium in Manchester. This match was a draw. However, during the fourth Test match, the Indian team’s wicketkeeper-batsman Rishabh Pant was injured. Despite being injured, he batted in this match. After the match was over, Gautam Gambhir, the head coach of the Indian team, made a big statement about the subsidized players of the injured players, which Ben Stokes jokingly said. Now after the fifth and last Test played at Cainington Oval, former India player Ravichandran Ashwin has spoken while remembering this statement of Ben Stokes.
Ravichandran Ashwin made a big statement
Ravichandran Ashwin said on his official YouTube channel, ‘You get what you sow. After the injury of Rishabh Pant at the Old Trafford Stadium, a question was asked about the vegetable of the injured players in the press conference in which Gautam Gambhir said that these rules must be there. Gautam Gambhir had said that if a player of a team gets injured, then the vegetable player should get a chance instead. After this, the same question was asked from Ben Stokes who called it a joke.
Ravichandran Ashwin said this because during the fifth Test, England veteran all -rounder Chris Woakes was injured while fielding. He was hurt on his shoulder. Despite this, when England’s 9 wickets fell, Vokes came out to bat. Even though England lost the match, Chris Woakes had praised this thinking a lot.
Test series ended on par
This 5 match Test series ended at 2-2. Players of both teams performed very well in this series. Mohammad Siraj was awarded the Player of the Match Award in the fifth Test match. He took a total of 9 wickets in the last Test. Not only this, Siraj took 23 wickets in this series and he was the highest wicket -taking bowler. The Player of the Series Award for India was won by Shubman Gill while Harry Brook won the award for England.
