Insisting that England skipper Ben Stokes is far ahead of his contemporaries in pressure situations, Australia great Ricky Ponting has likened the all-rounder's match-winning abilities to Mahendra Singh Dhoni's on-field demeanour.

Stokes almost single-handedly carried England to a series-levelling win, scoring 155 off 214 balls in the second Ashes Test at Lord's. It wasn't the first time he had terrorised Australia. In the 2019 Ashes, he smashed an unbeaten 135 to help the hosts register a remarkable one-wicket win at Leeds.
