Stokes the batter yet to click in series

BEN Stokes sat inside the ground floor media conference hall at the JSCA Stadium in Ranchi. As a captain, he had just lost a Test series for the first time since taking over in mid-2022. The ten-minute-long interaction started with the admission of disappointment about the defeat, but it did not take long to trail towards a familiar trend that one could see through this series.

There was praise for Indian spinners, the challenges of facing them, a promise of the future in Tom Hartley and Shoaib Bashir and some updates on the fitness of a few players. By and large, most of the interaction was Stokes talking about the environment, enjoying the game and having fun- the routine positive reinforcement and backing of players - how England competed and pushed India (which they did) and the fact that there will be a lot more series to be won in the future.
