Ravichandran Ashwin, on his official YouTube channel, stated, ‘You reap what you sow.’ After Rishabh Pant’s injury at Old Trafford Stadium, a question was raised during a press conference about the substitution of injured players, where Gautam Gambhir emphasized the importance of such a rule. Gambhir had suggested that if a team player gets injured, a substitute player should be given the opportunity. Subsequently, Ben Stokes was asked the same question, which he dismissed as a joke. Ashwin’s comment stemmed from the fact that during the fifth Test, England’s experienced all-rounder Chris Woakes got injured while fielding. He sustained a shoulder injury. Despite this, Woakes came out to bat when England had lost nine wickets. Although England lost the match, Woakes’ attitude was widely praised.
