Ben Stokes, without a doubt, is one of the best players in the world across formats. It might be said that no other cricket player in the world has a more complete collection of talents.
In the second T20I played between Australia and England, Stokes' batting performance was not great, as he was caught after scoring only seven runs off 11 balls. He has not played a game in the shortest format for last 19 months and returned to the side for this series and T20 World Cup.

England's Test captain is still getting into the T20 zone but on the field, he is just as competent as ever.
Mitchell Marsh smashed Sam Curran down the ground during the match's 12th over. It appeared that a six was guaranteed at long-off, but Stokes' acrobatics converted the maximum into only two runs. On the boundary, the all-rounder made a diving effort to push the ball back into the ground. Twitter erupted in praise and amazement at Stokes' incredible fielding attempt.
England defended 179 runs against hosts Australia to win the three-match T20I series 2-0 with one match still remaining. After Dawid Malan's 82 off 49 balls propelled England to 178-7 in 20 overs, Curran topped the bowling statistics by claiming three wickets and restricted Australia to 170-6.
