England’s condition was already weak in the match when captain Ben Stokes made a big mistake and put his team in further trouble. Due to this mistake of the captain, England can even lose the match.
In fact, English captain Ben Stokes ended all three DRS available for an innings in the first 80 balls of the innings and all his decisions proved wrong. Team India, which batted till the end of the first day, lost only 1 wicket. In such a situation, England will have to take down the remaining 9 wickets of India without DRS, which will not be so easy for them.
Where and when did Stokes ruin reviews?
Captain Ben Stokes took the first review in search of the wicket of Indian opener Yashasvi Jaiswal, when fast bowler Mark Wood was bowling the third over of the innings.
After this, the English captain took the second review in the 12th over of the Indian innings, when spinner Tom Hartley was bowling. Stokes took the second review in search of the wicket of Indian captain Rohit Sharma. The English captain wanted to see whether the ball had hit the Indian captain’s bat or not, but here too he was proved wrong and lost the second review.
Then after just 2 overs, i.e. in the 14th over, Stokes took the third and last review of the innings, when spinner Tom Hartley’s ball hit the pads of Shubman Gill. Hartley appealed very strongly, but the umpire declared it not out, after which the English captain used review. But this time too Stokes proved wrong in his decision and thus he lost the last review of the innings.
