'Love watching him play' - Stokes in awe of India star

The England captain didn’t hold back in his praise for the wicketkeeper-batter, even while speaking at the press conference on the eve of the second Test.

“Even though he's my opposition, I absolutely love watching Rishabh play cricket,” Stokes said.

“I love the way he takes it on, in all formats of the game. He got stick in his time, but when you let that type of talent be free, that's what can happen like last week, credit to him for two hundreds in the game.

“We know we're going to get our chances, with the way Rishabh plays. So yeah, it's one of them. On a different day, it could have looked a little bit different if one of those had gone straight up and into hands, but yeah, (he is) a very dangerous player. We know what he brings to the Indian team but I really enjoy watching Rishabh play cricket.”
