Ben Stokes has had a memorable year in which he managed to win the World Cup and be part of a team that created history. He played a key role for England in their World Cup campaign; without him, it wouldn't have been possible for The Lions to triumph.

Stokes was simply stunning in the final and stitched a crucial partnership with Jos Buttler. His superb 84 ensured that the match went into the Super Over, and the rest as we know is history.

Stokes had a great time in the Ashes too, and was at the centre of one of the greatest matches the world has ever seen. He single-handedly took his country to a win as he scored an unbeaten 135 in the third Test.

In 8 Tests this year, Stokes has scored 627 runs at an average of 48.23 while also picking up 18 wickets. The New Zealand-born player has also scored 719 runs in 20 ODIs at an average of nearly 60, along with 12 wickets.

Stokes still has a possible 5 T20Is and 3 Test matches to go, and he will try to keep up the good work.
