5 Reasons Why A Long Test Series Is Challenging

#3 Drama

Cricketer Ben Stokes Appears In Court Charged With Affray

Red ball cricket has its share of drama. From the start, this series was built up as Virat Kohli’s ultimate challenge. He overcame the hurdle by scoring a brilliant hundred in the first innings itself! Now, it's about India winning their seventh Test in England. They have only won 6 Test matches in 43 years there.

With Shami involved in a controversy before the tour and Ben Stokes missing the second Test due to his court case, there’s plenty of off-field drama already. A long Test series has scope for a lot more drama. Who can forget the jellybean incident in 2007? Such incidents keep popping up from time to time and pose different challenges.
