England national cricket team Test captain Ben Stokes walked off the field (retired hurt) while batting during the third day of the ongoing fourth Test against India at Old Trafford on Friday. The veteran was limping while leaving the ground and was seen struggling with his left leg. The first instance of discomfort seems to have happened during the 108th over of England's first innings when Stokes was holding his calf. During the 115th over, Stokes decided to leave the field. For those unversed, the England skipper has had hamstring issues in the past. He was out of this year for a while while recovering from a similar injury on his left hamstring.
