England skipper Ben Stokes says they know what it takes to beat India but insisted it`s more than just winning a game since they are looking to reshape Test cricket with their style of play. Under Brendon McCullum`s guidance and Stokes` aggressive captaincy, a `new-look` England swept New Zealand 3-0 in their last series at home, just days back. India are leading the series 2-1 and the 31-year-old all-rounder expressed confidence of squaring the series.
"We still obviously know that we need to win this game to draw the series. But you know as I said at the end of last week that, at the moment it is bigger than results, it is bigger than you know, what happens on the field, there is more to it. We obviously want to win every game we play but it is bigger than that," Stokes said on the eve of the rescheduled fifth Test. The match was postponed last September owing to a Covid-19 outbreak in the touring squad. "I think what we managed to do over the last three weeks is just reshape Test cricket with the way we played.
