ICC World Test Championship 2019: Top 3 run-getters after Ashes 2019 (updated)

#2 Ben Stokes (Matches: 5, Innings: 10, Runs: 441, Avg: 55.12)

Ben Stokes was named as the player of the series for Ashes 2019

One of the star performers for England cricket through the entire course of this English summer, Ben Stokes' career has truly come a complete circle from where he was a year ago. Emerging as the best batsman for England in the Ashes, the all-rounder didn’t put a foot wrong in the entire five-match Test series.

His heroics at Headingley to single-handedly snatch victory from the jaws of defeat was ranked among one of the greatest Test match innings of all time.

With 441 runs in ten innings at an average of 55.12, Stokes was undoubtedly the second-best batsman after Steve Smith in the series. His class as a batsman came to the fore as he looked the most technically solid batsman in that entire English dressing room. He currently stands second in the list of most runs in the ongoing World Test Championship.
