England captain Ben Stokes said that the way India bowled in its second innings decided the course of the match.
“Cricket is always skill against skill,” the 32-year-old stated. “Ashwin, [Ravindra] Jadeja and Kuldeep [Yadav] and the conditions we found ourselves in against them was very, very challenging. You’ve got to give them credit for the way they bowled in very favourable conditions. Their skill was better than ours.”
But Stokes felt 192 was still a defendable target.
