Ben Stokes in response to Kohli’s message
“I love Virat. He will be remembered as one of the greatest players to ever play the game in all three formats. He’s a fantastic player, and I’m glad I got to play against someone like him. I’ve always admired the energy and commitment he brings to the game, even before I started playing against him. When you play guys like that, you understand what it means to play the game at the highest level, not just for yourself but for everyone else “Stokes told Sky Sports.
“I’ve enjoyed every game I’ve played against him. I’m sure there will be more battles on the field.”
Earlier, Stokes said in a statement, “I will play my final ODI for England on Tuesday in Durham.” I’ve decided to step away from this format.
“As difficult as this decision was to make, it’s not as difficult to deal with the fact that I can’t give my teammates 100 percent of myself in this format anymore. Anyone who wears the England shirt deserves nothing less “He went on to say.
“This has been a very difficult decision to make. I’ve enjoyed every minute of representing England with my teammates. We’ve had an incredible journey so far “He wrote something.
