Updates on India vs England 3rd Test

In the wake of the 3rd Test, India has a confident stance, especially Ravindra Jadeja. The bowling-all-rounder, Jadeja believes that the Indian Team is ready to confront England’s challenge for the rest of the series.

"I won't say they are difficult because their style of playing cricket is aggressive. In all these years, whichever team has come they have not found it easy to come to India, play on the Indian wickets, and win in Indian conditions.”

Stokes’s Own Way

Bumrah has been a hard nut to crack for England. Bumrah has been ruthless in the previous two test matches. The right-arm fast bowler took (6) wickets in the first India vs England Test, (2) in the first innings, and (4) in the second. The attack didn’t stop there, he took a total of (9) wickets in the second test, (6) in the first innings, and (3) in the second.

England needs to tackle this menace.

Ben Stokes has devised a solution - “Own Way,” Basically, there isn’t a team plan, really.

The England Captain seems to be using a ‘Creative Liberty.’ A term often used in the artistic fields, where you don’t really impose a solution, you just go with the flow. Ben Stokes is sleeping on a problem here.

So what is this “Own Way.” The Captain has suggested his batters bring out their own, individualistic methods to tackle the world's No.1 Test bowler, score runs against him, and protect the wicket.

Let’s see if the “Own Way” would be for England in the India vs England 3rd Test 2024.
