India vs England Live Score: Monty Panesar’ big praise for Ravichandran Ashwin, ‘brilliant at how he…’

India vs England Live Score: Speaking to ANI, Panesar said “Ashwin has been absolutely brilliant. The first I came across him was during a Test series in India (2012). Role-wise, he has been there working out angles and engineering his way to dismissals. I think he is brilliant at how he changed the revolutions on the ball and enriched the art of spin bowling. It is all about angles, mathematics and data. So, I think he is the engineer of spin bowling,”

India vs England Live Score: Rohit Sharma speaks about the importance of domestic cricket

India vs England Live Score: Rohit Sharma while speaking about the importance of domestic cricket said, “There has been talk about this for a long, long time. That when the players are available, they’ve got to make themselves available to play domestic cricket, unless they have been given a certificate from the medical group that they want to be rested or will not be taking part in domestic cricket. But if you’re available, if you’re fit, if you’re fine, I think it is important that we go and play that. It is not for just a few cricketers, it is for everyone to make sure that whenever you’re available and fine, you should be able to play domestic cricket,”

India vs England Live Score: Ben Stokes on Bairstow’s 100th Test, ‘probably going to be…’

India vs England Live Score: Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Stokes said, “I am not the one who is out there doing that. This is probably going to be more of an emotional thing for Jonny than it ever was for me. I do not need to go into details as to why about the whole family. He has got his mam, sister, partner, little baby boy and some friends here.”

“Playing for England means so much to Jonny and means so much to his family as well and to play over 100 ODIs, 100 Tests – a lot of cricket for England – it means a hell of a lot to him. He deserves everything that gets spoken about him in the build-up to the game and throughout the week as well,” added the English skipper

India vs England Live Score: ‘Don’t know what Bazball means’ says Rohit Sharma

India vs England Live Score:  Speaking at the pre-match press conference, Rohit said, “I honestly don’t know what [Bazball] means, whether it is to go and strike, whether it is to go and defend and wait for the loose ball…I have not seen any wild swinging from anyone, so I don’t know exactly what this term means,” he added.

“But, yeah, clearly they have played better cricket from what they played the last time they were here. And you got to give credit to two of their batters who got big hundreds there and played well. They applied their method to get some success and they got it. But other than that I don’t know what it means,” the Indian skipper added.

India vs England Live Score: Speaking at the ICC Review podcast, Ponting said, “He’s a master of spin in any conditions. He’s been an incredible cricketer, no doubt about it. I had a chance to coach him for a couple of years at Delhi, and loved working with him. He’s got a lot of theories and philosophies on the game, which I really like. He’s always done things a little bit differently and done things his own way. But he just continued to evolve as a bowler,”
