The England-India series has been fierce, but the real battle is brewing off the field. After being penalised for a slow over-rate at Lord’s, Ben Stokes has fired a fresh salvo, demanding different rules for different countries. Not too long ago - Stokes accepted the penalty without contesting the decision. Is this a valid point—or just mind games gone too far? Rupha Ramani breaks down the controversy, Stokes’ shifting stance, and how England’s anger is fueling the mind games. With the must-win Manchester Test looming for India, will England move past the drama or let the mind games define the otherwise well-fought and fiery Anderson-Tendulkar trophy? Also on the show, India's women's team is on the rise. The women in blue beat England 2-1 in the ODI series and 3-2 in the T20Is. A dominant display saw India win their fourth consecutive ODI series. But what has inspired this win? The Women's Premier League has been a major catalyst. How did WPL shape India's approach? And the Indian government is proposing a Sports Governance bill to bring the BCCI within the purview of the government's norms. The Indian cricket governing body has refused the government's influence in the past. What does this new bill entail, and will the sports ministry control BCCI now? Find out how the BCCI has reacted to the decision. --- Ben Stokes | ICC | India vs England | India England Test Match | Ind vs Eng | Cricket | Shubman Gill | Lord’s | Manchester | Old Trafford | Anshul Kamboj | Karun Nair | WPL | Women’s Premier League | Women’s Cricket | Harmanpreet Kaur | Kranti Goud | Women’s World Cup | BCCI | Governance | Sports | First Sports | Rupha Ramani | Firstpost | Sports News #benstokes #icc #asia #lordstest #indiavsengland #indvseng #manchester #india #england #indvseng #testcricket #indiavsengland #shubmangill #oldtrafford #firstsports #rupharamani #sportsnews #firstpost Firstpost is an Indian news and media website.
