“He was always just calm, especially losing that second one so close”, Ab de Villiers applaud Ben Stokes.

Former South African cricketer AB de Villiers recently participated in an engaging conversation with his ex-teammate Shaun Pollock, focusing on the thrilling Ashes series. The series, which has witnessed Australia winning the first two matches followed by a victory for the hosts England in the third match, has kept the competition alive and intense.

During the discussion, de Villiers expressed his admiration for the English captain, Ben Stokes, recognizing his exceptional talent as an all-rounder. De Villiers did not hold back in his praise for Stokes, emphasizing his remarkable skills both with the bat and ball, as well as his exemplary leadership qualities on the field.

When a fan inquired about de Villiers’ opinion on Stokes’ abilities as a batter and bowler,AB de Villiers said “Oh, that’s an easy question, I think he’s an incredible cricket player. You see, we watched him in that last Test match, how calm he was. Actually, all the Test matches, I can tell you now, to lose the first two Test matches in the five-match series is very nerve-wracking but he was always just calm, especially losing that second one so close.”
