What an achievement! England’s most versatile all-rounder, Ben Stokes, is now in the elite club of Test cricket legends, having achieved the magical figure both as a batsman and as a bowler—more than 6,000 runs and 200 wickets club.
Stokes reached this figure during the first Test against the West Indies at Lord’s, Helping England for a long time. McKenzie’s opening over dismissal of the batter made him 32 years old, marking him as one of the modern era’s most useful and significant cricketers. He took 200 test wickets.
For instance, Ben Stokes, one of the most notable all-round cricket stars with 103 Test matches, started playing to his name and bagged 6,320 Test runs @ 35 average. 30, among them 13 centurions and 31 continuous half-century players. In trying to field this same ball, he has also been useful with it, getting 200 wickets in his career.
There are not many like Stokes now, but he now has company in an all-time great like Garry Sobers of West Indies and a titan like Jacques Kallis of South Africa. This great accomplishment adds to Stokes’ incredible all-spherical performances and puts him among the best cricketers of his era.
