Career
Ben Stokes is defined by two innings played weeks apart in 2019: the unbeaten 84 that took the World Cup final to a Super Over, and the 135 not out at Headingley that chased down 359 with one wicket standing. Both were built on the same refusal to accept that a match was gone.
As Test captain from 2022 he pushed England into an aggressive, declaration-heavy approach that changed how the format is played, and he has repeatedly bowled long spells at high pace despite a persistent knee problem.
Highlights
- Scored 135 not out at Headingley in 2019 to win a Test from 286 for nine
- Made an unbeaten 84 in the 2019 World Cup final
- Captained England to a markedly more aggressive Test approach from 2022
- Named Wisden's Leading Cricketer in the World
