England international Joe Root has been actively plying his trade in Test cricket compared to the other two formats in international cricket. His last T20I appearance came against Pakistan in 2019.
On the other hand, his last ODI appearance came against South Africa on July 24, 2022. He was last seen in cricketing action during the Test series against the Pakistan national cricket team last December.
Joe Root was part of the team that went on to inflict a 3-0 whitewash on the Pakistan cricket team. Thus, England became the first team to complete a historic Test series over Pakistan in Pakistan.
Joe Root rates Ben Stokes as the world’s best all-rounder
Meanwhile, England international Joe Root reserved the highest respect for Ben Stokes while speaking to TOI. Joe Root rated Ben Stokes as the world’s best all-rounder.
Ben Stokes will be playing for Chennai Super Kings in the sixteenth edition of the IPL after being roped in by the yellow army for a record fee of INR 16.25 crore at the IPL 2023 mini-auction in Kochi on December 23.
Ben Stokes is a match-winner and CSK will surely benefit from his services in the upcoming season. Stokes has good experience playing in the truncated version of the game wherein he scored 585 runs in 43 T20Is including one fifty.
On the other end of the spectrum, Ben Stokes scored 920 runs in 43 appearances in the Indian Premier League. He scored two centuries and two fifties to his name and maintained a strike rate of 134.5.
Meanwhile, Joe Root was purchased by Rajasthan Royals for INR 1 crore and it will also be the first time that the England international will be spicing it up in India’s premier T20 competition.
Rajasthan Royals won the title in the inaugural edition of the Indian Premier League by beating Chennai Super Kings in the IPL 2008 final. The Royals also made it to the finals in the IPL 2022 season but were defeated by Gujarat Titans in the final showdown.
Csk is blessed to have both Jadeja and Ben stokes https://t.co/qYtdc9X7mb

He was the best in ODI and T20 before the break. 2019 WC inning and many more. But right now he needs more time in T20 cricket to flourish. Hope IPL will make a big impacts in his T20 career— Sports.world (@moiz_sports) January 26, 2023

Ben stokes is the best cricketer in the world right now. Proved it at the biggest stage, both ODI and T20 world cup win wouldn't be possible without him. Those who perform in glorified friendlies called bilaterals dont even come close.
