Well I don’t think England would have won the game without him. It’s about what he gets out of other people as much as his own batting and bowling. Like Mike Brearley, though Stokes is clearly a much more capable and valuable player than Brearley was.

Will a Test series loss to India be the end of captaincy for Ben Stokes?

Stokes could lose 5 Test series vs India and the ECB wouldn’t give a flying fig.
This is India’s aukaat. However, if England suffer a humiliating whitewash/defeat down under in the upcoming Ashes, then you can bet Stokes will resign before he is sacked as captain. Look it up, the majority of English Test captains resign/sacked after an Ashes series.
Indians, don't think for a minute the England give a sh1t about you, they don't and never will.
To England, its Test cricket, and Australia is the final frontier for any English cricketer who wants to conquer the game.

To the point, England will wrap up the 4th Test in no time and then just focus on the Ashes.
India series is just practise sessions.

Are you saying that he contributed to the loses of that tour.

No, he didn’t contributed to loss. Afterall, he was hitting hundreds and taking 5-fers for fun while his team was poor
.Stokes averages 41 with bowl and 28 with bat. Missed the 2017 tour due to his indisciplinary act and getting into unnecessary brawl off the field. Yes, being a main player, he contributed to the losses too.

Rain intervened bro. They looked well set to win it. That is probably the only drawn match in Stokes' captaincy i think?
If rain washes out an entire day in the next 2 tests, then a draw can occur as well. I don't know what the forecast of next 2 tests look like.
A bit strong, but essentially true.

Why would they sack Stokes during the summer’s warm-up for the Ashes?
135 to keep the Ashes alive average off 55 in 2019,155 in 2023.No, he didn’t contributed to loss. Afterall, he was hitting hundreds and taking 5-fers for fun while his team was poor

Shocking should have scored 300+ in each Innings.

Bolding the part won’t mean you post incorrect information.
I clearly mentioned Ashes in Australia and then you quoted me. Everyone is aware of his 135 at home vs Australia.

Stokes is not going anywhere. WHy would Engalnd take a risk of sacking him when Ashes is nearby. Stokes is doing just ok ok atm.
Indeed, the only beneficiaries would be the Australians. They’d love it.

It should the end of his captaincy whether England win or lose the series.
I think Stokes should be dropped.
I take back my comment.
After how Stokes lead and performed in 3rd Test, I think he should continue. He showed great leadership.
But, he needs to get his batting form back.

At home, he is good but he needs to perform more away. He has only performed well in South Africa away from home but failed in Australia, India, New Zealand and Pakistan. He doesn’t have to perform everywhere but Ashes in Australia this year can certainly uplift his legacy given he has couple of truly memorable performances with bat already in his test career and a highly successful record as a captain.
