- Stokes ‘didn’t know’ his 182 was England men’s ODI record
- Playing as a batter has helped Stokes be ‘clear in my mind’
Ben Stokes insisted he was “not too fussed” about chasing individual records after he rocketed to the top of England’s all-time one-day international charts with an innings of 182 as England thrashed New Zealand by 181 runs.
Stokes’s total beat the previous record, set by Jason Roy in 2018, by two runs but he said that not only was he not aiming for that mark, he had no idea what it was.
