England’s captain, Ben Stokes acknowledges the immense challenge posed by India’s spinners in the fourth Test in Ranchi describing it as “incredibly hard” to face Ravi Ashwin, Ravi Jadeja and Yadav Kuldeep. Despite the tough conditions, Stokes expresses belief in his team’s approach. 

India secured an unassailable 3-1 series lead chasing down a modest target of 192. Stokes emphasizes the difficulty of scoring and rotating the strike during India’s spin-friendly conditions. He credits India’s spinners for outskilling England in challenging circumstances.

While Stokes faces questions after three consecutive Test losses, he maintains a consistent message focused on players’ commitment and effort. He commends the team for giving their all on the field.
