English journalist calls Ben Stokes the new Virat Kohli for taking Test Cricket to next level
England’s Test skipper Ben Stokes has been hogging over the headlines ever since his side defeated Pakistan in the recently concluded first Test in Rawalpindi. His captaincy was one of the main reasons behind his side scripting history.
Ever since he has taken the Test captaincy, he has instilled a fearless approach in his players. They have looked very optimistic on the field as they have played an attacking brand of cricket and made many applaud them for their heroics.
Their Bazball concept has taken the World by storm. Under the leadership of Ben Stokes and coach McCullum, they have looked at a completely different side as they have adopted a fearless approach and instead of being conservative, which they followed earlier, they are going for the kill.
In the Test against Pakistan, after England opted to bat, they posted a total of 657 runs in just 100 overs. If this was not enough, Stokes then made a bold declaration in the second innings, risking a loss. But they produced a superlative effort and bundled out Pakistan for 268 runs in the second innings and won the game by 75 runs to take a 1-0 lead in the series.
After the win, he made a bold statement, which saw many applauding him. He said: “I’ve got no interest in trying to play for a draw, the dressing room has no interest in playing for a draw.”
On the other hand, Virat Kohli has played an instrumental role in taking Test cricket to new heights. He developed a positive attitude in his side and it was because of him Indian team started winning overseas as well.
After England’s win against Pakistan, an English journalist called Ben Stokes the new Virat Kohli for taking Test Cricket to next level. Taking to his official Twitter account, he said:
“Ben Stokes is the new Virat Kohli in how the TV camera will just follow him round the pitch no matter what he’s doing. Electrifying to watch.”

They both are very similar characters. What else did you expect ??? I would say stokes as a batsman always reminds me of Yuvi. Man made for big occasions.
