Ben Stokes is dominating the headlines in cricket world thanks to his stunning exploits with both bat and ball in the last 18 months or so. Everything that the England allrounder is touching is turning into gold. Last year, he starred in the World Cup to help England win their first-ever 50-over World Cup.

Few days after that, the allrounder helped England draw the Ashes at home. Earlier this year, Ben Stokes powered England to an impressive Test series win in South Africa and was also named ICC Player of the Year. Recently, he became the number one Test allrounder in the world after starring in England’s thumping win over West Indies in the second Test of the ongoing three-match series.

At the moment, it looks like there is absolutely nothing that Ben Stokes cannot do.  It does not matter whether he is batting, bowling or just fielding, the England superstar is rarely failing to make a mark. But there was a time when he too looked helpless and was forced to ditch fast-bowling for spin bowling.

The incident took place during the Test between England and Pakistan in UAE in 2015. It was the first Test of the tour. On the slow pitch, Pakistan batsmen were making merry and were heading towards the 500-run mark when Ben Stokes decided to bowl spin.

The star allrounder recently recalled that moment when he came across a video of the same on Twitter. He was quick to re-tweet the video and also pointed out his bowling figures from the match, saying that he bowled three overs of spin and conceded 9 runs without picking any wicket.

Here is a clip of that moment:
