Ranking 5 current best sweepers in international cricket
In the modern era, there are many players who possess the ability to sweep any delivery off to the stands against spin as well as seam bowling.
1. Ben Stokes
The England all-rounder has an astounding 2019 where he single-handedly led his side to the triumph in the World Cup and the Ashes. His breathtaking knock in the World Cup final as well as the Headingley Test earned him England’s ‘Player of the Year’ award too. One peculiar thing about Stokes’ batting is that he never backs down from experimenting and taking risks while batting.
From slog sweeps to reverse sweeps, the all-rounder never fails the opportunity to leave fans awestruck with his batting exploits. Be it Test cricket or T20I cricket, Stokes is known for his devil-may-care attitude and slogging the ball according to the situation. He had even attempted slog sweeps and reverse sweeps in the Headingley Test due to the need of the situation.
Hence, the all-rounder can definitely be considered a part of the list of best sweepers in the modern era. Despite boasting a meagre IPL record, Stokes is touted to do wonders in IPL 2020 considering his red-hot form. The 28-year-old is slated to don the Rajasthan Royals jersey in the thirteenth edition of the league.
