IND vs ENG: With maiden golden duck, Ben Stokes registers THIS unwanted record in Tests

England's skipper was dismissed on the very first ball he faced by Mohammed Siraj on Day 3 of the Edgbaston Test. Siraj dismissed him on the next ball after he removed Joe Root in his first over of the day. The ball brushed his gloves and went straight to Rishabh Pant behind the stumps. With this dismissal, Ben Stokes has registered an unwanted record for most single-digit scores as skipper since May 2022, which is precisely the time when the England team has a 'bazball' approach to playing.
