[ad_1] Captain Rohit Sharma shakes hands with English counterpart Ben Stokes after winning the fifth Test Match in Dharamsala. | Photo Credit: Gareth Copley Former England spinner Graeme Swann doesn't believe Rohit Sharma's captaincy was better than Ben Stokes' in the five-match Test series. Rather, it was a lethal set of bowlers that "did the trick" for the India skipper. While Stokes' leadership style has attracted all the attention prior to and during the series, Rohit's team emerged 4-1 winners in the end. "I don't think he has been superior as a captain because his bowlers have done the trick for him. I think he's got more weapons at his armoury," Swann told PTI Videos in an exclusive chat after India inflicted an innings and 64-run defeat on England in the fifth and final Test in ...

Ravichandran Ashwin always trying to find ways to get you out, says Joe Root

[ad_1] Mighty impressed with Ravichandran Ashwin's range, aggressive mindset and relentless pursuit of wickets, senior England batter Joe Root has said that the veteran Indian off-spinner is a constant threat who hardly believes in the concept of wearing the opposition down.

[ad_1] Captain Rohit Sharma speaks during the post-match press conference after wining the Test series against England in Ranchi on February 26, 2024. | Photo Credit: PTI When India plays a Test series at home, the outcome is akin to that of an open-and-shut case. So much so that in little over a decade, the nation had won against every visiting team, the count being 16 on the trot until the end of 2023.But against a near full-strength England that hadn’t lost a series since June 2022 home or away (four wins and two draws), there were a few jitters. InexperienceIndia also had an inexperienced side, missing Virat Kohli and Mohammed Shami for the entirety of the campaign and the likes of Ravindra Jadeja, K.L.
