The Ashes is considered to be one of the most prestigious Test series fought between two world-class teams
TURBAT: Ben Stokes is a genius all-rounder who always plays brilliantly in crucial condition. This was evident in the third Test match of the current Ashes series where Australia set the target of 360, a hard run chase. But Ben Stokes was the hero yet again as his incredible unbeaten century saw England to a thrilling one-wicket win at Headingly. Now the five-match series is 1-1. The Ashes is considered to be one of the most prestigious Test series fought between two world-class teams. That’s why victory in the third match was crucial. Stokes and Jack Leach made 73 runs partnership of the last wicket, held firm with a match-winning knock from the batting star Stokes, with outstanding 135 not out, and this was only the fourth-highest successful chase in the fourth innings.
It was really a very special feeling that is hard to describe in words. One of the best all-rounders in the world Ben Stokes, you are really unbelievable.
