"I have never understood the hype around Ben Stokes the captain. On a flat track with sun shining he decides to bowl, today with some life in pitch edges flying but no extra slip. Batsmen took England to win in first Test but Stokes didn't score many. Please inform if I have missed any of his hidden leadership master stroke," Kaif wrote on X (formerly known as Twitter).

Ben Stokes Dismissed for Golden Duck in First Inning of Second Test
Ben Stokes had a forgettable outing in the second Test against India. He was dismissed for a golden duck in England’s innings. After India posted a massive 587 in their first innings, England were under pressure from the start. Team India captain Shubman Gill scored 269 runs off 387 deliveries.
With England in trouble, Stokes was expected to stabilize the innings. However, he was undone on his very first ball by a sharp, short-pitched delivery from Siraj that caught the edge, and wicketkeeper Rishabh Pant completed a simple catch.
