T20 World Cup: Miracle man Stokes brings trophy home for England

The Hindu  

A Sunday night of delight for England stretched interminably with most of its players living it up in the Melbourne Cricket Ground’s dressing room. The fusion-theme was in vogue when Rashid said: “Inside our dressing room there is inclusivity, we all come from different backgrounds but we are there for the team’s cause.” Earlier, Rashid’s leg-spin did a star-turn for England even if it was left-arm speedster Sam Curran, who walked away with the accolades. Leap back to the 2016 final at Eden Gardens and you will recall Ian Bishop’s iconic final remark: “Carlos Brathwaite, remember the name!” The West Indian had just clattered four sixes off Stokes in the game’s concluding over. ““Inside our dressing room there is inclusivity, we all come from different backgrounds but we are there for the team’s cause.””Adil Rashid Cut to a more recent vintage and we now deal with a Stokes, who sought a break due to mental exhaustion. “I keep looking at the scoreboard and try and stay till the end,” he had recently said and thankfully for England, Stokes delivered on that promise.
