In keeping with his philosophy about personal milestones, his cap presentation took place in the dressing room before the opening day of the third Test against India in Rajkot got under way.

England assistant Paul Collingwood was tight-lipped about what he said to Stokes before handing over the cap but thought his former Durham team-mate was touched by the sentiments expressed.

"I've known Ben since he's been a young whipper-snapper at Durham. It was great just to say a few nice words.
