"Don't Think Rohit Has Been Superior As Captain": Graeme Swann's Debate-Stirring Statement

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 here on Saturday.

He had stopped bowling owing to a knee injury and had undergone surgery last year.

"You'd Say We've Gone Backwards": Ben Stokes' Passionate Defence Of England Team In Press Conference

In Ben Stokes, England have a captain who will stand by the philosophy he has, the mindset his teammates possess when they step out on the field, and the strategy the coach decides no matter the conditions in the middle. Though England have already lost the 5-match Test series against India, with the hosts taking an unassailable 3-1 lead with the win in the 4th Test at Ranchi, Stokes doesn't feel his team has gone backward in their progress. For the England skipper, the scoreline doesn't suggest the nature of the competition his side has given to India.

"Looks Like An Absolute Belter": Ben Stokes On Dharamsala Pitch Ahead Of 5th Test

England captain Ben Stokes called the Dharamsala pitch an absolute belter and that is the main reason why he did not pick an extra pacer for the fifth and final Test against India starting on Thursday. Dharamsala is colder than usual for this time of the year keeping the pacers interested but considering no grass has been left on the surface, the England batters are licking their lips.
