“The first name that comes to my mind is former India captain MS Dhoni, who plays the role of a finisher in most T20 matches. Ben Stokes is also doing this in Test matches. Very few players in the history of the game have been able to do this, especially captains. I remembered the Headingley Test innings during Ben Stokes’ batting at Lord’s. Maybe everyone thought he would do it again because we had seen him do it before, but this time the runs were more.
