Ben Stokes hit a gutsy unbeaten 42 as England made the T20 World Cup semi-finals on Saturday with a tense four wicket win over Sri Lanka, shattering the hopes of defending champions Australia whose title defence is now over.
Undeniably, one of the finest all-rounders in the game, Ben Stokes is a name that needs no introduction. Be it batting, bowling, or fielding, there arguably isn't a better player in world cricket with a better all-round skillset. In the 2nd T20I against Australia at Canberra, Stokes produced a mind-boggling fielding effort on the boundary rope, setting Twitter ablaze with reactions.
Former Australia star Shane Watson is regarded as one of the best all-rounders to ever play the game and in a career spanning, 207 international games, Watson took 291 wickets and he also scored 10,950 runs. The 41-year-old is currently in India to play the Legends League Cricket tournament, and on the sidelines of the ongoing event, Watson spoke to NDTV about the meteoric rise of another star all-rounder, India's Hardik Pandya, in T20 cricket, who recently also showed his captaincy credentials in the IPL.
Ben Stokes vowed England would keep up their bold approach to Test cricket under coach Brendon McCullum after wrapping up a 2-1 series win over South Africa at the Oval on Monday. The match was shortened to three days after the first day was washed out and the second scrapped following the death of Queen Elizabeth II. But England still needed less than half an hour to seal victory by nine wickets in front of a sparse crowd in London. "This game here, with it being shortened, our main aim was it ending in a result," England captain Stokes told Sky Sports.

Indian batter Jemimah Rodrigues was on Monday nominated for the ICC 'Player of the Month' award for her impressive performance at the Commonwealth Games in August. The nominations in the women's category also feature the gold medal-winning Australian duo of Beth Mooney and Tahlia McGrath. Rodrigues was one of the pillars of the Indian team that went all the way into the finals of the Commonwealth Games in Birmingham. She ended the tournament fifth on the run-scorers list with 146 runs in five matches.
