On Day 4 of the Test at the Dr. Y.S. Rajasekhara Reddy ACA-VDCA Cricket Stadium, the Three Lions lost by 106 runs after failing to chase down the target of 399.
Root came out firing on all cylinders in the second innings, hitting Ravi Ashwin for 2 fours by using the reverse sweep to good effect. Thereafter, he deposited Axar Patel down the ground for a massive six.
Chopra also slammed Stokes for being lazy after the latter got run out at the striker’s end in the second innings. Ben Foakes called for a single right away, but Stokes was late in responding, leading to his downfall.
Also, Chopra reckoned that being one of England’s biggest game-changers, Stokes should bat higher up the order for England.
