As he questioned Rohit Sharma's tactics and approach in the series opener in which back lashed the Indian team as they were handed a shocking loss. The home side is currently unbeaten in a test series since 2012/13 and England were the team that beat them at home. 

The 35-year-old batter might be returning from the third test and help the side a bit as well. India lost a Test match at home for the first time, despite having a 100-plus lead in the first innings.

They miss Virat Kohli's captaincy: Michael Vaughan 

Kohli decided to step down as India's Test captain after the country's 2022 tour of South Africa. It came as a surprise because the former captain had achieved remarkable success in red-ball cricket. Kohli lost only two home Tests out of 31 throughout his tenure, whilst Rohit has already lost two in seven matches. 

Vaughan said on Club Prairie Fire show, "They miss Virat Kohli's captaincy massively in Test cricket. Under Virat's captaincy that week, India wouldn't have lost the game. Rohit is a legend and a great player. But I felt he just switched off completely." There were several questions of whether 'Bazball' will work in subcontinent but Ben Stokes's side have proved all that wrong after winning the first game.
