đŸ’„StokesđŸ’„
Stokes debut in 2011. His year by year avg and strike rate in all formats are as follows:
2011 : M 7 A 15.65 S 81.3
2013 : M 7 A 22 S 100
2014 : M 20 A 14.15 S 70.3
2015: M 26 A 29.5 S 75
2016: M 34 A 39 S 78
It took the "legend" Stokes 5 yrs to cross an avg of 30 1/n
The year 2016 also includes the "Braithwaithe" over. His best started from 2017 but then had a mediocre 2018 (A 30, S 55đŸ’„). In 9 years of career, the "batting AR" endured 7 abysmal years. Now compare this with Pandya who avgs 26 and is still his 3rd yr. 2/n
Stokes avgd 24 from (2011-15) excluding 2012 where he was "dropped". Similie genre players, Pant avgs 29.05 (overall) in 3 yrs, Butler avgd (29.4) in the same period. I am not against people calling Stokes resilient, legend but their peek should not mean you adumbrate 3/n
Your own players at incipient careers. We need to be pragmatic about the game's demand and the importance these players possess in today' era. This breed is not your Kohli or Root but they are the one's who can decide your fate in a WC final like Stokes did. 4/n
