Stokes delivered a record-breaking all-round performance in the ongoing fourth Test against India, snaring five wickets and smashing a heroic 141-run knock in Manchester. His brilliance helped England post a mammoth 669, taking a huge 311-run lead over the Indian cricket team.

Dodda Ganesh posted, X: “A genuine all-rounder is the one who delivers irrespective of the conditions. With due respect to Stokes, he was pedestrian in India. The likes of Kapil Dev, Ian Botham, and Imran Khan will always stay a few notches above the modern-day all-rounders #ENGvIND.”

England plays it safe as Ben Stokes avoids bowling on Day 4
As India made a strong comeback on Day 4 of the ongoing Manchester Test, all eyes were on Ben Stokes. Despite being England’s top wicket-taker in the ongoing five-match Test series, the in-form all-rounder didn’t bowl a single over while KL Rahul and Shubman Gill stitched together an unbeaten 174-run partnership after a shaky start at 0/2 on Day 4.
Notably, Stokes has a history of back and hamstring issues, and with a major Ashes 2025 tour to Australia coming up, it looks like the England camp is being cautious.
Ben Stokes is being wrapped in cotton wool: Jonathan Trott
Reacting to the call, Jonathan Trott felt England was possibly protecting him from injury, as he had already spent much time with the bat.
He signed off by saying, “Stokes is a ‘today, right now’ kind of cricketer. So yes, it’s possible he’s being wrapped in cotton wool—maybe on doctor’s advice. But honestly, if he could bowl, we would have already seen him in action today.”
