Against Australia, Stokes likes to play a lot and his competitiveness comes out quite easily. In the 5th ODI in 2013, Stokes claimed a five-wicket haul against the mighty Australians. However, Australia won the match by 49 runs due to England’s poor batting. In 10 overs, Stokes claimed five wickets and gave away 61 runs. Even though he took wickets, he was the most expensive bowler in that match.
