Sportskeeda's Test XI of the year

#7 Ben Stokes

A match-winner with both bat and ball

With immense promise and potential, Ben Stokes has emerged as one of the premier all-rounders in the world.

He became a vital asset for the team both with the ball and the bat. His improvement against spin has been one of the biggest positives in his game.

With the ball, he became the best exponent of reverse swing and was one of the standout performers in the otherwise dismal tour of the sub-continent.

Stokes has unbridled ability and in the coming years, he could establish himself as one the premier match-winners in the game.
