Every England veteran cricketer and other former cricketer of another country has been praised for the feat by Stokes.
Sam Curran received Man of the match award for his bowling performance but at one stage England’s batting lineup was struggling with the score of 49/3. When Ben came out to bat he was not able to connect the ball properly.

Of course, Shaheen Afridi’s injury was a big blow for Pakistanis but Stokes played a fabulous inning of 52 runs and even was the perfect contender for Man of the match.
