England captain Ben Stokes said that I have played cricket for Chennai Super Kings in the IPL and learned a lot there.

The way MS Dhoni and coach Fleming make decisions, they have confidence in them, even when they are on the verge of losing the match.

Both of them have a lot of understanding in making accurate decisions. Whatever decision they take they always stick to it. He knows what is right for the team. I am very impressed by his thinking.

Ben Stokes sometimes makes such decisions that surprise everyone but some of his decisions also prove to be quite right.

The Experienced Bowler Also Had To Be Kept Out Of The Playing Eleven:-

For example, for the Hyderabad Test match, he had decided to enter the field with three spin bowlers. Due to this, he had to keep even an experienced bowler like James Anderson out of the playing eleven.

Now, before the second Test, England coach Brendon McCullum has also made it clear that for the Visakhapatnam Test match, his focus will be on playing as many spin bowlers as possible.
