England Test captain Ben Stokes may have completed 7000 runs and 200 wickets in Test cricket, but he is not the best all -rounder ever. It is believed that former India captain Kapil Dev.
In a program, Kapil Dev said that Stokes is not even the best all -rounder of his generation and he is also far behind Ravindra Jadeja of India.
Recently in the Manchester Test against India, Ben Stokes scored a brilliant century and finished the two -year century and became the only third player in the world to get 7000+ runs and 200+ wickets in Test cricket. On the other hand, Ravindra Jadeja has 3697 runs and 326 wickets so far. Despite this, according to Kapil Dev, Jadeja is ahead of Stokes in terms of all -round performance.
What did Kapil Dev say
Kapil Dev said, ‘I do not want to compare. Stokes is a good all -rounder, but I still believe that Jadeja is ahead of him. Their performance is far better. Team India’s condition in the Manchester Test is bad. England put 669 runs and put heavy pressure on India. Questions were also raised on the captaincy of Shubman Gill, especially about changes in his bowling.
However, Kapil Dev supported Gill and asked him to give him time. He said give him time. This is his first series. He will make mistakes, but will learn slowly and will be better. This is a young team and these players are getting a chance to play. It takes time for every new team to freeze. “
