Michael Atherton: Former skipper Michael Atherton while praising Ben Stokes made a bold statement calling him a “great England captain” ahead of his 100th Test in Rajkot.

Atherton commends Stokes for orchestrating an "incredible turnaround" in England's Test fortunes, highlighting the team's remarkable resurgence under his captaincy. With a win percentage of 70 in 21 Tests, Stokes has led England to 14 victories, a feat that solidifies his legacy as one of the nation's greatest captains.

“In the last phase of his career, he’s been dominated by his captaincy and I think he’ll go down as a great England captain for what he’s done with the team so far,” said Atheron to Sky Sports.
