Only a few bowlers have got the better of Stokes on most occasions, and here are 4 bowlers who dismissed Ben Stokes the most number of times in ODIs.

4 Bowlers Who Dismissed Ben Stokes Most Number Of Times In ODIs:

Clint Mckay – 3:

Clint Mckay was one of the top performers for the Australian side in the period from 2009 to 2014 in the bowling setup and he used to be a great force to reckon with in the middle overs. He was brought into the attack whenever the Australians needed a wicket and enjoyed a fair amount of success.

Mckay picked up 97 wickets in 59 ODI games at an average of 24.4 and he dismissed Ben Stokes three times in his international career which equals the third-most by any bowler. The former Australian seamer was always right on the money with hitting the good length and he troubled the batsman despite not having adequate pace.

James Faulkner – 3:

The Australian all-rounder James Faulkner enjoyed the period until the 2015 World Cup in the bowling unit and he indeed was an important part of the side. He was a regular wicket-taker and he used a lot of variations which backfired him after some time too.

Faulkner has picked up Ben Stokes three times in the 50 over format which equals the third most number of times in ODI cricket by any bowler. The left-arm seamer isn’t part of any Australian squads at present and he will be looking to make a comeback into the team soon.

Ravichandran Ashwin – 4:

Ravichandran Ashwin is always a big threat for the left-handers in the game and he has a phenomenal record against the left-handers in all formats. The off-spinner natural stop delivery has been taking it away from the left-handers and he has been able to get the edges talking most of the time.

Ashwin has dismissed Stokes 4 times in the 50 over format which is the second most number of times in ODI cricket by any bowler. He has always had a liking towards the left-handers, but Stokes will be happy that Ashwin isn’t part of the Indian ODI squad at present.

Hasan Ali – 5:

Hasan Ali holds the record at the moment for dismissing Ben Stokes most number of times in ODIs and he achieved the feat in the ongoing ODI series against England. Hasan Ali dismissed Stokes for 22 when he was building up a big score with a brilliant delivery and it castled the stumps for the left-hander.

Overall, the Pakistan seamer has dismissed Stokes five times in the 50 over format and his natural angle has always been taking the delivery outside the left-hander. Hasan Ali has also the ability to reverse swing which has caught up the all-rounder on some occasions.
