Ben Stokes will create history as soon as he enters the field of Rajkot, what did the captain say before the match?
Ben Stokes Records: Every match is important for every player. There is nothing more important than the team’s victory. Meanwhile, England cricket team captain Ben Stokes will create history on Thursday at Rajkot ground. As soon as they come on the ground, this day will become special for them. This is a position where very few cricketers are able to reach. However, Ben Stokes is calling it an ordinary match, like everyone else. But somewhere an achievement will definitely be added to Stokes’ account.
Ben Stokes will play his 100th test
Ben Stokes has so far played 99 test matches for his team England. This will be his 100th Test when he takes the field in Rajkot on 14th February. This is no small achievement. Speaking to the media a day before the match, Ben Stokes said that the 100th Test is a milestone, nothing more than that. He said that playing the 100th Test match will not make much difference. The England captain said that the 100th Test is just a number as each of his matches in red-ball cricket is special. Stokes said that the next match after the 100th will be the 101st Test. 99, 100 or 101 doesn’t make much difference. Stokes said that he does not want it to appear that he is not grateful for the opportunities he has received.
Stokes made his test debut in the year 2013
New Zealand-born England captain Ben Stokes made his Test debut in 2013. However, he could score only one run in the first innings and 28 runs in the second and this match would have been memorable for him only in terms of his debut. But in the very next match, when he came to the field in Perth, after scoring 18 runs in the first innings, he played a brilliant inning of 120 runs in the second. Since then, he has become an important member of his team.
