IND V ENG: It's 100% Our Greatest Victory In These Conditions, Says England Captain Ben Stokes
Rajiv Gandhi International Stadium: Captain Ben Stokes on Sunday called England's 28-run come-from-behind victory over hosts India in the first Test of the five-match series as "our greatest victory" since he took over and praised left-arm spinner Tom Hartley and middle-order batter Ollie Pope for their special efforts.
Hartley set aside a poor performance in the first innings to pick a sensational 7-62 while Ollie Pope hammered a magnificent 196 runs that helped England, who had conceded 190 runs lead, make 420 in their second innings, setting India a target of 231. Hartley then got into action after that and the hosts were bowled out for 202 in their second innings as England won by 28 runs.
"Since I've taken the captaincy on, where we are and who we're playing against, it's 100% our greatest victory. My first time coming out here and being captain in these conditions," said Stokes as England's Bazball tactics proved successful in India.
