Defending a modest total, Stokes delivered a masterclass in threading the fine line between aggression and precision, steering his team to a dramatic victory.

Among his career-defining moments was a blistering half-century in 22 balls against a formidable rival team, coupled with a five-wicket haul that demonstrated his prowess on both sides of the game. Known for his calm demeanour under pressure, Stokes frequently emerged as the linchpin around which his team’s successes were built.
