The topic of the substitution of the injury was the point of the debate throughout the series. Former England Captain Michael Vaughan defended for this, especially after Rishabh Pant suffered injuries and had to be taken from the field in a wheelchair.Former India Off-Spinner R. Ashwin, who spoke on his Hindu Canal YouTube Ash Ki Baat, criticized England Captain Ben Stokes, who rejected this idea as “ridiculous” when he asked about it earlier in the series.“What you sow is what you reap,” Ashwin said.“In the old Trafford, after the injury of Rishabha Pantov, the press conference contained questions about the replacement of injury. Gautam Gambhir said that injuries such as these substitutes were immediately asked by the same question to Ben Stokes and said,” It’s absolutely a joke. ““I am a big fan of Ben Stokes. I admire his attitude. But you have to think before you speak. Today Chris Woakes came out with his shoulder tucked into his sweater and gave him everything to help the team win.Ashwin added that Vaughan’s view of substitution permission is worth considering: “Michael Vaughan said this is one area where the game can evolve. Substitution should be allowed.”
