Ben Stokes, England\u2019s all-rounder who played an astonishing inning of 82 runs off 118 balls with 10 boundaries and 3 sixes praised Indian seamers after the end of Day 2. Stokes applauded Jasprit Bumrah and Ishant Sharma for toiling away on Day 2 in Chennai Test.<\/p>\n
England finished the day with 555\/8, the double ton of England\u2019s skipper played a major role in putting up a monstrous score. However, Stokes doesn\u2019t believe that there is much help for pacers in the pitch of Chennai.<\/p>\n
\u201cThere\u2019s obviously more in the wicket for the spinners than the seamers, and you\u2019ve got to give a lot of credit to Ishant and Bumrah for the way they run in. We\u2019ll need to do that as well. Pleased to win the toss and put a total in the board,\u201d 29-years old said.<\/p>\n
Day 2 was also dominated by the visitors as they managed to cross 550+ runs in their first inning itself. Stokes was dismissed by Shahbaz Nadeem, about which he told the media that he was looking to attack rather than defense.<\/p>\n
\u201cI\u2019m making sure I\u2019m either getting right down the wicket or getting right back. Today, initially, it was a typical subcontinent wicket, but Nadeem got a couple to kick out of the rough, and I said to myself, \u2018I\u2019d rather get caught at deep square taking the attack to him rather than get caught short leg being defensive\u201d he added.<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
