Top 5 fast bowling all-rounders in world cricket right now

#1. Ben Stokes

Ben Stokes holds the record of fastest 250 in test cricket

The Kiwi, who plies his trade for the English side, is widely considered as the successor to Andrew Flintoff.

In 2016 at Cape Town, England were 167-4 with their first innings in the balance, two wickets falling on that score to bring Stokes’ hurried arrival. He went on to smash the quickest Test 250 in the 140-year history of the game, taking just 196 balls to reach that milestone.

Stokes has regularly performed with both bat and ball for the English side, and has also lit up the IPL with his talent - he was awarded the Player of the Series in the 2017 edition of the T20 extravaganza.

With his bowling, he has scalped 98 wickets in 42 Tests and 58 wickets in his 67 ODIs. He is undoubtedly the best fast bowling all-rounder in cricket right now.
