Mohammed Siraj silences England as angry Ben Stokes walks off in frustration
Stokes, who was looking to anchor the innings, immediately knew he had made a mess of it when his team needed his contribution against India. The frustration was written all over his face. The angry England captain flung his bat in the air, caught it mid-air, and clutched it tightly between his jaw and chest, showing how furious he was with himself for this blunder.

Well, India had placed a silly mid-off to block the classic Stokes off-drive, forcing him into an awkward shot. Siraj, bowling from around the wicket, delivered a perfect-length ball that angled in and then nipped away. Stokes tried to steer it towards the point, but all he managed was a thick edge straight into Rishabh Pant’s gloves behind the stumps.
The timing couldn’t have been better, as Siraj broke the dangerous partnership between Stokes and Harry Brook and England’s momentum. As Stokes walked off for 20 off 52 balls, including three boundaries, the energy in the Indian camp exploded as they knew it was a turning point of the game.
