Because trophy is a trophy. Ben Stokes is way ahead of Hardik in that. Having said that, yes, some of Hardik's innings have been better than Ben Stokes, but having better innings and being better than Stokes are two completely different things.” Hardik is currently ranked fifth in the ICC rankings for T20I all-rounders, while Stokes finds himself in the 61st position, having last played a T20I in March 2021. Branding Stokes as a proven candidate when compared to Hardik, Latif said: “There's no doubt that he is a very good player but it's a bilateral series. You see such innings in bilateral series. The Asia Cup concluded recently and you have to count those performances too. I'm not talking about today's match, but Ben Stokes is proven. He won the World Cup and he won Test matches for England.” The English all-rounder was adjudged Player of the Match for his unbeaten 84 in the 2019 World Cup final. He also scripted a valiant 135 in England's record 362-run chase against Australia in the 2019 Ashes. Stokes has a Test double century to his name and currently boasts a formidable record as captain of the side.

By Gokul Nair Modified 22 Sep 2022 Follow Us Comment Share Ben Stokes (left) and Hardik Pandya are among the best all-rounders in world cricket Former Pakistan wicketkeeper-batter Rashid Latif believes that Ben Stokes is well ahead of Hardik Pandya in terms of performance and consistency. The pair are among the leading all-rounders in world cricket at present and maintain an aggressive mindset in their approach. The emergence of Hardik effectively ended India's prolonged search for a reliable fast-bowling all-rounder. While he is not in India's scheme of things in Test cricket, he is a vital cog in the team's white-ball set-up. Stokes, on the other hand, currently leads the England Test team and recently announced his retirement from ODI cricket.
