England's captain, Ben Stokes, continues to impress with his standout performances in the ongoing Test series against India. On the first day of the fourth Test, Stokes set a personal record, bowling 119 overs across the series, surpassing his earlier records from the 2013-14 Ashes.

Despite a modest batting average of 27.16 this series, Stokes' contribution with the ball is undeniable. He has claimed 13 wickets, becoming a pivotal figure in England's bowling lineup. His important dismissals include Shubman Gill and Sai Sudharsan, turning crucial moments England's way.

As England prepares for the Ashes against Australia this November, Stokes' form, both as a bowler and a fielder, is encouraging. His impressive performance at Lord's earned him the 'Player of the Match' award, reinforcing his role as a vital cog in England's cricket machine.
