As India and England gear up for the crucial 4th Test of the series in Manchester, spirits are high in both camps. A win for England will put a series victory out of reach for Shubman Gill’s men, while a win for the visitors will set up a thrilling series finale. With less than three days to go until the 4th Test gets underway, England batter Ollie Pope went viral for a hilarious and light-hearted interview.The Englishman, who scored 44 and 4 in the Test at Lord’s hasn’t had the best of outings in the previous two Tests. However, the 27-year-old scored a blistering ton in the first innings for England, paving the way for a win at Headingley. In conversation with Sky Sports Cricket, the player shared a hilarious tactic that he uses ahead of games.When quizzed about what a player will do if they want to use the toilet in the middle of an innings, Pope did not hesitate to reveal the facts. “Yeah, you’re in a bit of trouble. It’s never actually happened – touch wood – just because I think weirdly when you’re out there, you’re king of sweating and so focused, you’d never really find yourself in that position,” said Pope.However, he joked that its much more easier when you’re not on the field, allowing him to run off. “I think when I’m waiting to bat, every two or three overs, going for a wee or something just to make sure I don’t need one when I’m out on the pitch,” added the player.

The player also highlighted that he tries not to look at what’s going on in the game and follow it live, stating that it drains him even before he steps out to bat. Rather, the player revealed that he usually resorts to conversing with veteran batter Joe Root in the changing room, who usually comes in after him.
