If cricket had a “final boss,” it would be Ben Bloody Stokes.
This man doesn’t just play cricket — he rewrites scripts. When it’s chaos, when the moment’s too big, when everyone else is panicking — that’s when Stokes locks in.
Let’s talk clutch, babbyy:
🏏 2019 World Cup Final – The Insanity at Lord’s
- England needed 15 off the last over against NZ.
- Stokes delivers: scoops, sprints, and that freak deflection 6 off his bat.
- Tied game.
- Super Over.
- England wins by boundary count. Stokes finishes 84*, not out.
💬 “No one else could’ve pulled that off.”
– Literally everyone who watched.
He wasn’t just playing. He was writing history.
🔥 2019 Ashes – Headingley: The Miracle
- Chasing 359. England 9 wickets down. All hope gone.
- Then… Stokes turns into a freak of nature.
- Reverse sweeps Lyon.
- Smashes Cummins over long-on.
- Holds his ground with No.11 Jack Leach, who literally cleaned his glasses in between overs 😭
- 135 off 219 balls.*
England wins by 1 wicket. And Headingley becomes his kingdom.
🧠 “That’s the greatest Test innings I’ve ever seen.”
– Nasser Hussain, and probably every fan with a soul.
⚔️ T20 World Cup 2022 – Ice in His Veins (Again)
Final vs Pakistan. Tricky pitch. Chasing 138. Early wickets fall.
Guess who walks in?
- Calm. Composed. Unshakable.
- Stokes sees it through with a match-winning 52*.
- England = double world champs.
He’s now the only player with a WC final-winning knock in both ODI and T20 formats.
🧠 Why Is Stokes So Different?
- He’s not chasing stats. He chases moments.
- He’s got nerves of steel, heart of a lion, and zero fear of failure.
- He’s built for 5th days, last overs, Super Overs, and haters.
💬 Final Word
Stokes is not consistent in the usual sense.
He’s consistent in chaos.
And when the world needs a miracle…
Ben Stokes delivers it like a Sunday sermon.
