Ben Stokes made a big statement
England Cricket has released a video in which Ben Stokes said about Virat Kohli’s retirement, ‘The way he used to fight in the game and wanted to win in him, India is going to miss India. He has created number 18 and does not seem a bit strange to see the 18 number behind any Indian shirt. Virat has been a class for a long time and he has made many records in his strong Test cricket career.
The English captain further said, ‘I sent a message to him when he retired. My message was that now I will not be able to play the match against him and this is a matter of shame because I have always liked to play against Virat. Our mindset is the same and that is why we like to perform brilliantly against each other. It is like a war in the field.
