India’s bravery won the hearts of the fans by England’s injured all -rounder Chris Woakes after India won by 6 runs in the Oval Test. But on this excuse, an old debate broke out again. Former India all rounder R Ashwin reminded Ben Stokes of the same statement in which he called the suggestion of injury replacement as ‘Joke’. Ashwin described it as a game of Karma.
India defeated England by 6 runs in the fifth and last Test played at the Oval to equal the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy 2-2. In this exciting match, England all -rounder Chris Woakes was in the discussion in the last moments. Despite a serious shoulder injury, Vox stood at the non-strayer end by tying one hand in a hand sling to help the team win with Gas Atkinson.
However, Mohammad Siraj’s Perfect Yorker bowled Etkinson and won the match to India. But this bravery of Vox brought an old issue to the headlines again.
In fact, Rishabh Pant was injured in the fourth Test played at Old Trafford, after which many former cricketers including Gautam Gambhir talked about changing the rules. But when England captain Ben Stokes was asked Sabal at the press conference, Ben Stokes rejected it as ‘Absolutley a Jok’. Now after the Oval Test, former India off -spinner R Ashwin hit back on his YouTube channel.
Ashwin said, “I am his fan, but should think before speaking. When the question came in the press conference after Pant’s injury in Old Trafford, Gautam Gambhir had said that there should be a replacement for such injuries. The same question was asked from Ben Stokes, he said that he said it is absolutely funny.”
Ashwin praised Vox’s courage, “Salaam hai, Vox came to bat with one hand, killed the team. Running, shown the game awareness.
He also said that people like Michael Vaughan are in favor of injury replacement and it should be discussed serious. Ashwin advised Stokes, “Just think, if the players like Pant were in your team and got injured, do you not want replacement, think for others.”
Ashwin finally said, “It is okay to give opinion, but words like joke and rediculus are not correct. Speak thoughtfully, because Karma immediately hits.”
