Former England captain David Gower, one of the few captains to lead his side to a Test series victory in India, believes the fitness of skipper Ben Stokes will be key to his team’s fortunes in the upcoming five-match series.
Stokes, who is on his third Test tour of India but the first as captain, underwent knee surgery immediately after the ODI World Cup in November.
