England captain Ben Stokes, who did not play due to injury to the oval match, also called the ‘incredible’ series’ incredible ‘and said that’ both teams played a lot of passion and hard. We wanted to win the series, but as a supporter of Test cricket, this series is a great example for the whole world how important and interesting tests are still.
Those who say that Test cricket is ending, this series has proved everyone wrong. ,
England coach Brendon McCullum named the match as ‘one of the best Test matches’.
He said, “We were very hopeful, but the spirit of Mohammad Sirj and the Indian team was great and that’s why he won the match.”
