Stokes Defends England's Loss, Gets Slammed For Excuse | First Sports With Rupha Ramani | N18G In a fiery turnaround at Edgbaston, Shubman Gill silenced all critics in his first victory as India’s Test captain — a win that not only levelled the series but also marked India’s first-ever Test triumph at the venue. From being called out for questionable team selections and bowling depth to being hailed for bold calls and inspired leadership, Gill’s side responded under immense pressure and delivered a complete performance. While India rose to the occasion, England captain Ben Stokes stirred controversy with his post-match comments, blaming the pitch instead of acknowledging the defeat. In this video, Rupha Ramani breaks down how India's gritty resilience outshone England’s excuses, how Gill led from the front, and why Stokes' remarks have left experts baffled. With Lord’s up next and Jasprit Bumrah’s return confirmed, momentum is firmly with India — and this series is far from over. Also on the show, the US faced another humiliating loss to their neighbours. Team America were beaten by Mexico in the Concacaf Gold Cup final 1-2. This was America's sixth defeat to Mexico in eight tournament finals. As Trump continues to target Mexico and Canada - America gets humbled by their rivals in the sporting circle. What is the reason behind this? And Wimbledon snubbed line judges for electronic systems in the 2025 edition. However, the innovation hasn't been well received. Anastasia Pavlyuchenkova's Round of 16 clash finished with a drama. Wimbledon's "sleeping umpire" sparked massive outrage. But that's not the only reason behind Wimbledon being in a spot - their inclination for traditions has upset many players on the circuit. --- Shubman Gill | Ben Stokes | India vs England Test Match | India vs England | Cricket | Team India | First Sports | Rupha Ramani | Firstpost | Sports News #shubmangill #benstokes #indiavsengland #teamindia #firstsports #rupharamani #sportsnews #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
