England all-rounder Ben Stokes did not have a big role to play with the bat or the ball so far in this Test match, however, on day 3 of the second Test, Stokes found a moment to amuse the Chepauk crowd. Stokes is yet to hit a fifty or bowl an impactful spell so far in the Test seris. Meanwhile, after yet another good day at the Chepauk, Team India are seven wickets away from winning the second Test. Stokes has to play a big part with the bat if he wants to deny India from winning the Test match.
Meanwhile, Ben Stokes did a handstand to amuse and excite the Chennai crowd who were already treated to some brilliant batting from local boy Ravichandran Ashwin and skipper Virat Kohli. This was Ashwin’s first Test ton at his home ground. Watch the video below.
