Ben Stokes is not predictable — and that’s exactly why he’s dangerous.
From the 2019 Ashes Headingley miracle to the 2019 World Cup final, Stokes has built a career on moments that feel scripted.
He thrives in chaos. When plans fail, when the crowd roars, when the opposition smells victory — Stokes flips the script.
As England’s leader, he has embraced fearless cricket. Aggressive declarations. Attacking fields. No safety nets.
Stokes doesn’t play to avoid defeat.
He plays to force victory.
That mindset has redefined how England approach Test and white-ball cricket.
Love him or hate him — you watch when Ben Stokes plays.
