Ben Stokes Eyes Redemption at Old Trafford: England's Miracle Man Poised for Big Showdown

As the anticipation builds for the fourth Test against India, England captain Ben Stokes is determined to deliver a standout performance at Old Trafford. Despite winning 'Player of the Match' for his all-round heroics at Lord's in the third Test, Stokes is hungry for a significant score with the bat.

Throughout the series, Stokes has managed just 163 runs in six innings, averaging 27.16 and reaching a top score of 44. Despite these batting challenges, he has been exceptional with the ball, taking 11 wickets at an average of 29.45, with his best figures standing at 4/66.

Stokes has built a reputation as a player for big occasions, with memorable innings such as his unbeaten 84 in the 2019 World Cup and his miraculous 135* at Headingley. Heading into Old Trafford, he stands only 61 runs shy of the coveted 11,000 international runs mark, a feat achieved by merely 10 English players. Will Old Trafford see Stokes reclaim his batting prowess?
