England's Ben Stokes is currently the most sought-after all-rounder in world cricket. One of the most versatile players in the circuit at the moment, Stokes will be best remembered for his knock in the 2019 World Cup final which England won. Known as an aggressive player on the field, Stokes has the ability to demolish the opposition with his bat and also take wickets at crucial junctures while bowling. Born in New Zealand, Stokes came through England's age-group cricket and played in the 2010 U-19 World Cup. The southpaw made his senior England debut in 2011 in ODIs and T20Is before receiving his maiden Test cap in 2013. One of the moments, Stokes wants to forget in his career was the four sixes that he conceded against West Indies' Carlos Brathwaite in the 2016 T20 World Cup final at Eden Gardens in the final over. England lost in the final eventually.
