Ben Stokes reaps rewards of IPL gymwork after playing John Terry role at CSK | live match score | live score
It’s not often you get to the eve of the Test summer and an England captain likens himself to a Chelsea footballer. But such are the demands on a modern cricketer like Ben Stokes, the comparison made sense.
“I played a little bit of a John Terry role winning the IPL,” the allrounder joked during press commitments at Lord’s a couple of days after Chennai Super Kings won a thrilling final in Ahmedabad. Terry famously lifted the Champions League trophy in 2012 dressed in his full Chelsea kit despite missing the final against Bayern Munich through suspension. While Stokes did not go fully yellow, a winner’s medal is on its way to a player who made just two appearances despite joining the franchise for INR 16.25 crore (£1.6 million approx). The last of those was on April 3.
Stokes has been back in the UK for two weeks and watched the Ravi Jadeja-inspired victory over Gujarat Titans on his phone in the bar of the Royal Garden Hotel in Kensington, where England are staying for the Ireland Test. He will likely bag a win bonus, too, and any other extras the owners wish to bestow upon the playing group after a fifth IPL title.
Perhaps Ledley King would be a more accurate England centre-back to draw parallels with, considering where Stokes is at right now. A Tottenham Hotspur legend, King was blighted by issues to his left knee throughout his career, not too dissimilar to what the Test skipper has been dealing with since 2017. King managed his issue by limiting training between games. Stokes is following suit.
Taking cues from the 40-year-old James Anderson, Stokes has opted to limit his bowling between Tests. He has not bowled at all this week, believing there are a finite number of overs left in a body with much more than its 31 years on the clock.
“Before I didn’t have to worry about that,” he said on Wednesday. “I could just bowl and bowl and bowl and turn up pretty fresh. Now I’m probably not able to do that, so in between games is probably the most important bit of managing anything correctly.
“The thing about me is that I don’t need much bowling for the rest of my body to tick over. I can have quite a lot of time off and then build up quite quickly. It’s not doom and gloom if I do or don’t bowl in this game.”
Nevertheless, he declares himself fit enough to bowl at Lord’s if required and to send down however many overs required of him throughout the Ashes, too. Even at face value, it is a huge improvement in attitude above all else. He was deflated by his knee at the end of February after the New Zealand series, and that in turn was affecting his batting. To go by his net sessions this week, that is no longer the case.
There had been fears before his IPL stint that Stokes would return from India more broken than before, but those did not eventuate. Instead, the lack of playing time meant he ended up using the world’s premiere T20 competition as a glorified training camp.
“I think I would much rather have been playing,” Stokes said. “I’ve then seen that as an opportunity to train as opposed to playing and then topping yourself up as the tournament goes along. Once you get into the tournament it’s like play, travel, all that kind of stuff. So, I was actually able to turn a disappointing situation into a positive one because I was able to concentrate on properly being able to train, whether that be technical stuff with the bat or fitness stuff, stuff in the gym and being able to concentrate on something else.
“And that was a really good way to get through that long period of having something else to focus on, as opposed to being disappointed I wasn’t playing. So looking back on it, you might say it’s disappointing to only play two games but I was able to then do something else. Sitting here today, I’m actually thinking it could have been a blessing in disguise – every cloud has a silver lining.”
The work put in is noticeable. Though you’d never say he was overweight – certainly not to his face – Stokes’ more pronounced cheekbones suggest he’s back to the sort of lean figure that marked his stellar year in 2019. Considering a bowler of his pace will put around eight times his body weight through that troublesome left knee at the moment of delivery, it will help him deliver as a functional allrounder this summer.
Given the game’s direction of travel, you might regard Stokes’ use of the IPL as a training camp as a crass victory for the diehard traditionalists, though only a player of his stature has the privilege to do such a thing. His lack of playing time will not have affected his stock with CSK, who have an eye on him leading them in the future when MS Dhoni decides to call time. But they may think twice about extending it on the same terms in 2023.
To have arrived back primed for the red ball, even in lieu of a run-out in the County Championship for Durham, means Stokes is something of an outlier, albeit a very specific one given his situation. Ahead of a home season in which the longest format is considering its very existence, as franchise competitions multiply and encroach on previously sacred turf, Stokes – a self-proclaimed “huge advocate of the Test format” -acknowledges both codes are up against each other. Though not necessarily in a bad way.
“The whole landscape and the whole game of cricket is literally just changing in front of everyone’s eyes so quickly. I see T20 and Test cricket being able to keep being successful and progress side by side.
“Look at what T20 has done for the game in general, the amount of attraction it’s brought, new fans, new players it’s brought into playing cricket regardless of the format. And also what T20 has been able to bring in terms of Test cricket. The transition between the two games is so different but at certain periods in Test matches you do see that T20 side come out, which is only because the players have been playing it. So, I don’t see a world where T20 and Tests aren’t being played in the future.”
He cedes that commitment to a brand of cricket reliant on ignoring risk and blue-ticking fear may be a little trickier given the excitement around the five-Test series against Australia just around the corner.
“It’s hard to ignore and not see,” he said of the anticipation. “I don’t know what this build-up period before the Ashes is like compared to 2005, no idea, it’s very hard to ignore and not be able to see the excitement.”
It is Ireland first, however. A one-off four-day fixture even the visitors regard as a distraction given their own bigger carrot of June’s World Cup qualifiers in Zimbabwe. A reminder that whatever trepidation there may be of the new world, the old one was far from equal.

Andrew Balbirnie - Franchise raids on Ireland players will be 'knock-on effect of good cricket' | live match score | live score
Josh Little’s appearance in front of over 100,000 Indian fans in the IPL final on Monday night will be every bit as important to the development of cricket in Ireland as the Test team’s opportunity to play at Lord’s, according to their captain, Andrew Balbirnie.
Speaking at Lord’s on the eve of his team’s one-off encounter with England, Balbirnie acknowledged the immensity of the challenge that awaits Ireland this week – not simply in facing down an opposition that has won 10 of its last 12 Tests in thrilling style, but in putting to one side the crucial World Cup Qualifiers that are looming in Zimbabwe later in June.
Little will be back with the Ireland squad for that 10-team campaign, which also features two former World Cup winners in West Indies and Sri Lanka. However, he is resting up for now after finishing as a runner-up with Gujarat Titans in a gripping IPL final that spilled into the small hours of Tuesday morning in Ahmedabad.
And while Little’s absence has attracted ire, particularly from Ireland’s performance director, Richard Holdsworth, Balbirnie insists that his star bowler is still doing his bit to put Irish cricket on the world map and that, given the direction of travel for international cricket, it may not be long before more of his best players are in similar demand elsewhere on the franchise circuit.
“That is something that happens above me and I’ve got to support what’s best for Josh,” Balbirnie said. “Do I want him in my team? Of course I do. He’s a brilliant bowler in the white-ball format. We’ve seen that on the biggest stage.
“Josh is Josh. We as a team want to promote Irish cricket as best we can when we’re on the pitch, but he’s also doing that himself with what he’s achieving on the world stage. What he is doing at the moment is only good for Irish cricket, and the development of players coming up through the ranks.
“I’m sure he does [want to play Test cricket], but I know how busy he is and the pressures that the IPL brings. He doesn’t want to get back from a game in front of 100,000 people with me saying, ‘Do you fancy 12 overs next week at Lord’s?’ You need to give him his space as well, and make sure that he’s in a good frame of mind.”
Little finished his maiden IPL campaign with seven wickets in ten matches, and fought his way back into the starting line-up for the play-offs and final, even after missing a fortnight in early May to play in Ireland’s ODI series against Bangladesh.
“He’s yet to play a Test match, but we know he’s pretty adaptable and he’s had a hectic schedule,” Balbirnie added. “I understand completely that he’s got to focus on resting up and getting ready for our World Cup Qualifier, which we head off for next week.”
But, as Balbirnie conceded, success on the international stage – whether that comes through qualification for the 50- and 20-over World Cups, or through individual feats at Lord’s this week – may well come with spin-off benefits for the players involved, even if it’s not entirely in the interests of Ireland’s international ambitions.
Citing the example of Lorcan Tucker – who picked up a deal with MI Emirates in the ILT20 last winter (and so missed a T20I tour of Zimbabwe) after his impressive displays in the T20 World Cup in Australia – Balbirnie admitted that further raids on Ireland’s playing pool would be a “knock-on effect of playing good cricket”, and therefore will need to be factored into the team’s long-term development.
“The T20 World Cup opened a few doors to people. Lorcan played in that ILT20 at the start of the year and impressed a lot of people.
“I can’t have any qualms about that because we are trying to play and entertain people and promote our game. The knock-on effect of that is these guys are going to get exposure to [franchise] leagues.
“Who knows what is going to happen in the next couple of years? We have to create a player-base in our country so if that does happen, and certain players miss certain Irish games, we have to make sure that there isn’t a drop in standard when we bring a player in.
“We don’t have the numbers that England, Australia, India have – in my career I don’t think we ever will. But in our small pool of players, we have to make sure they are all up to speed with what we are trying to do
“Things like this will continue to happen. Josh played in an IPL final in his first IPL appearance, I’m not stupid, he’s going to get picked up by other leagues and we are going to have this situation again, but he still wants to play for Ireland. I’ve spoken to him and he still loves playing for this team.
“But there are opportunities for him, and there will be for others. We just have to make sure that whoever comes into our group is up to speed and ready to go.”

China is drilling 10 km underground in oil-rich Xinjiang. Why? | World News | Times Of Ahmedabad
Chinese scientists have begun drilling a 10,000-meter (32,808 feet) hole into the Earth’s crust, as the world’s second largest economy explores new frontiers above and below the planet’s surface.
Drilling for what is set to be China’s deepest ever borehole began in the country’s oil-rich Xinjiang region on Tuesday, according to the official Xinhua News Agency. Earlier that morning, China sent its first civilian astronaut into space from the Gobi Desert.
The narrow shaft into the ground will penetrate more than 10 continental strata, or layers of rock, according to the report, and reach the cretaceous system in the Earth’s crust, which features rock dating back some 145 million years.
“The construction difficulty of the drilling project can be compared to a big truck driving on two thin steel cables,” Sun Jinsheng, a scientist at the Chinese Academy of Engineering, told Xinhua.
President Xi Jinping called for greater progress in deep Earth exploration in a speech addressing some of the nation’s leading scientists in 2021. Such work can identify mineral and energy resources and help assess the risks of environmental disasters, such as earthquakes and volcano eruptions.
The deepest man-made hole on Earth is still the Russian Kola Superdeep Borehole, which reached a depth of 12,262 meters (40,230 feet) in 1989, after 20 years of drilling.
