KL Rahul's issue
Indian opener KL Rahul said on this draw a series-
A young team will be at the top of India's Test cricket achievement to win the 2-2 draw in England and win the Anderson-Tendulkar Trophy.
Rahul said-
No one was expected from our team in this series, but we fought in every match and finally got the result from 2-2. Even though it looks like a draw, it will be at the top for us and the future of Indian Test cricket. The change starts here and the Indian Test team is going to win a lot more series abroad in the future.
The issue of English captain Ben Stokes
England captain Ben Stokes said after the defeat-
We didn't want this result, we wanted to win the series. All are very disappointed and frustrated. It has been difficult for me not to play the game. The England-India series is always special. Everyone comes to represent their country. When you lose one bowler at the beginning of the match, the pressure and responsibility on the other bowlers increases.
