MELBOURNE: The first chapter of this story began in Kolkata, on April 3, 2016, when Ben Stokes's despair was drowned in the din of Eden Gardens and the roar of Carlos Brathwaite in the aftermath of four consecutive sixes. Three years later, the greatest one-dayer at Lord's finally brought home the Cup, the outcome of a white-ball revolution that began after the 2015 ODI World Cup debacle Down Under.
The final piece was still missing though. It was found at the Melbourne Cricket Ground as England swept to victory over Pakistan in the T20 World Cup final on Sunday, becoming the standard-bearer in white-ball cricket. Pakistan were all heart in their fight to defend 137 but could not dislodge Stokes. He braved everything that came at him to score an unbeaten 52, hitting the winning run and setting off on a victory lap.
