Big Ben: Cricket’s Mr Incredible Ben Stokes

Hindustan Times  

Is there anything Ben Stokes cannot do on a cricket field? One way to sum up Stokes’s match-winning contribution against West Indies is via numbers—254 runs with the bat and three wickets with the ball. A few behind-the-scenes men at Stokes’s IPL club, Rajasthan Royals, who seem to know him almost as well as his England team-mates try and explain just what makes Stokes tick; and just why he is cricket’s first “Mr. “Just the attitude he has when it comes to playing hard cricket, that lets him do it,” says Muzumdar, before he talks of the work that Stokes puts into his game. That’s why it has been a pleasure to work with him.” Stokes, says Bharucha, also has no vested interests in his dealings with the management.
