England Test skipper Ben Stokes opened up on star Indian cricketer Virat Kohli not being part of the IND vs ENG Test series and said that everyone wants to see the Indian maestro on field.
Talking to the reporters on the eve of Rajkot Test, Stokes talked about Kohli’s absence from the series and admitted that every one wants to see best players playing.
“Everyone wants to see Virat Kohli on the field. You want the best players playing and Virat is one of them. I wish him the best and hope he comes back soon on the cricket field”, Stokes said on the press conference.
Notably, Kohli withdrew from the Test series citing personal reasons.
‘It’s just a number‘
When asked about his thoughts on completing 100 Tests, Stokes claimed that the feat doesn’t make much of a difference.
“Every Test is as important as the next one. It’s a sign of longevity, but 99, 100 or 101 doesn’t make much difference. It’s just a number”, the England skipper added.
