Ben Stokes Joins Elite All-rounders Club With Century At Old Trafford

By IANS News July 26, 2025 • 19:08 PM View: 762

Ben Stokes produced an all-round performance for the ages at Old Trafford, Manchester, becoming only the third all-rounder in Test history – after Sir Garfield Sobers and Jacques Kallis – to achieve the double of 7,000 runs and 200 wickets.

England captain reached the milestone in signature fashion, launching a splendid six early on Day 4, before crafting a gritty 141 that ended his two-year wait for a Test century, his last coming during the Ashes in July 2023.
