Ben Stokes can certainly go on to become England바카라s greatest ever cricketer as the star all-rounder "stands up in the biggest moments" like he did on Sunday, said skipper Jos Buttler said after the team바카라s ICC T20 World Cup 2022 triumph. (More Cricket News)
Stokes had anchored England바카라s chase against New Zealand in the 2019 ODI World Cup final with an unbeaten 84 not out.
On Sunday, Stokes struggled against Pakistani pacers initially, but took his team past the line with a responsible 52 not out to help his team win its second T20 World Cup title. Â Â Â
So is he on his way to become England바카라s greatest ever cricketer?
바카라Yeah, he can be in the conversation for sure,바카라 said Buttler after the famous win over Pakistan at the MCG.
바카라He (Stokes) always stands up in the biggest moments. He is a man who can take a lot of pressure on his shoulders and perform, and yeah, with him in the middle you know you have got a good chance. Â Â Â
바카라Yeah, just so proud of him, pleased for him that he's stood up and done it again,바카라 Buttler said with a sense of gratitude.
In the 2016 T20 World Cup final, Stokes was on his hunches after Carlos 바카라Remember The Name바카라 Brathwaite hit him for four successive sixes to fire the West Indies to their second title.
As 바카라Sweet Caroline바카라 was being played at the MCG after England바카라s win, Buttler couldn바카라t be more happier for Stokes, who has gone through a lot in past few years.
He lost his father in December 2020 and eight months later, he took an indefinite break from the game to "prioritise his mental well being", which also finds a mention in his tell all documentary.Â
바카라Yeah, it바카라s an amazing story really, isn바카라t it. I think shame he did his documentary a year early. He could have added that in. Yeah, he has been on an amazing journey.바카라
BUTTLER REMEMBERS WHAT STOKES HAD ONCE TOLD TO JOFRA ARCHER
바카라I think all these big moments, like I바카라ll always remember his words to Jofra about how things don't define you. I think he's obviously never let that 2016 final sort of push him back, and you think of the things he's gone on to achieve in his career since then is just amazing.바카라
The skipper said his premier player just knows how to win big games.
바카라Yeah, no surprise. He is a true match winner, and he's been there in those scenarios time and time again. He just has a lot of know-how for how to do that.바카라
What stood out for Buttler was the fact that despite not being at his fluent best, Stokes never gave up the fight against a quality Pakistan bowling line-up.
바카라I think it certainly wasn바카라t his most fluent innings or probably didn't time the ball as well as he can, but you knew he was never going to go down without a fight and stand up and be there at the end.Â
"We were immensely lucky to have him, and he's one of the great players of English cricket,바카라 said the skipper.
'FEELING WILL TAKE TIME TO SINK IN'
Buttler is four and half months into England T20 captaincy and he feels that winning a title within that span will take time to sink in.
바카라I think this seems to take more time to sink in. It feels different (from the 2019 World Cup win). That바카라s all I can say...Just delighted.바카라Â Â Â
Buttler is new to captaincy but has understood one thing that building relationships is key to a happy and successful team.
바카라I think relationships take time. As you get to know people better and better, you build trust. I would say the Pakistan tour for the group, not just myself and the coach, but for everyone involved, it just seemed like a really good tour. A lot of bonds were built."
