England batter Jacob Bethell credited his Indian Premier League (IPL) stint with Royal Challengers Bengaluru for helping him manage the pressure of his Ashes debut. Bethell scored a crucial 40 runs in England's second innings chase of 175, securing a six-wicket victory in the fourth Test against Australia. He stated that playing in front of large crowds in India, like at the Chinnaswamy Stadium, prepared him for the atmosphere at the Melbourne Cricket Ground, despite initial nervousness. This win ended England's 18-match winless streak in Australia.
