In the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Ben Stokes, a specialist hitter, played after retiring from the ODI format.
Ben Stokes, the England all-rounder, declared that his knee surgery had gone well and that he was now ready to begin his rehabilitation. In the ICC Cricket World Cup 2023, Stokes played as a specialist hitter after having recently retired from ODI cricket. Due to knee problems, he hasn’t been bowling much lately, which has hindered him from carrying out his duty as an all-rounder. In his tweet, Stokes stated, “In and out Under the knife done Rehab starts now.”
During his six tournament games, he amassed 304 runs at an average of 50.66 and a strike rate exceeding 89, including two half-centuries and a century. His highest rating was 108.
In order to lead his team from the front during the January 2024 tour to India and assist his nation in defending the ICC T20 World Cup title in June 2024 in the West Indies/USA, the all-rounder’s knee surgery is really vital. For these two high-profile matches, Stokes’ bowling prowess will be just as crucial as his hitting.
Additionally, in order to manage his workload and fitness to play the five-Test series against India prior to the tournament and subsequently the ICC T20 World Cup in June, he will skip the 2024 Indian Premier League (IPL).
Prior to the thrilling 2023 Indian Premier League, Stokes, 32, joined the Super Kings. For Rs 16.25 crores, CSK purchased him at the previous year’s auction. He only participated in two games, though, and in those he scored 15 runs, his best being eight. There were no wickets he could obtain. Fitness concerns kept the all-rounder out of action for most of the season.
With two hundreds and two fifties, Stokes has amassed 935 runs at an average of 24.61 in 45 IPL games. 107* is his greatest score. With the top figures of 3/15, he has also claimed 28 wickets.
