Ben Stokes produced another astonishing Ashes performance at Lord’s, but his dazzling century was not enough to save England from defeat as Jonny Bairstow’s controversial dismissal sparked fury in the second Test.
Australia took a stranglehold on the Ashes series after beating England by 43 runs in a fiery and controversial second Test in Lord's on Sunday to take a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. England captain Ben Stokes hit a stunning 155 after Jonny Bairstow was controversially given out stumped after straying out of his ground on the last day. But England were bowled out for 327 chasing a stiff target of 371. Australia captain Pat Cummins led the attack with 3-69.
Indian cricket team star batter Virat Kohli was all praise for Ben Stokes after the England skipper slammed a brilliant century on Day 5 of the second Ashes Test against Australia at Lord's. Stokes scored an impressive 155 off 214 deliveries but it was not enough as England slumped to a 43-run defeat to hand Australia a 2-0 lead in the five-match series. Kohli called Stokes the "most competitive bloke I've played against" before adding that Australia has been quite impressive on the field at present.
Former Pakistan spinner Saeed Ajmal was once one of the finest bowlers in the world. Having also topped the ICC charts in multiple formats, Ajmal has done wonders for the Pakistan team over the years. However, the spinner still has a regret, which is the fact that he failed to earn the Man of the Match award against India during an ODI series in 2013 despite picking up a 5-wicket-haul. Instead, according to Ajmal, the award went to India skipper MS Dhoni despite the fact that he had only scored 18-20 runs in the game and also dropped two catches.
The on-field rivalry between India and Pakistan has been legendary over the years and the fanfare around their match in the ICC World Cup 2023 on October 15 has already been dominating major headlines. While the cricketing world has been waiting for the match, former Indian cricket team skipper Sourav Ganguly believes that the quality of the rivalry has deteriorated in the recent past. In a recent interaction, Ganguly said that India have won most of the recent meetings between the two traditional rivals and although the hype is still intact, the lack of quality has severely dented the competition.
