    Who are the best all-rounders of this generation?

    History has proved that all-rounders play a significant role in a team's victory. Be it Kapil Dev in India's World Cup triumph in 1983, Yuvraj Singh in the 2011 World Cup or Shahid Afridi in the 2009 World T20. Importance of an all-rounder in test cricket is no different. Let us have a look at some top all-rounders from the current generation of players.

    India's best all-rounder?

    Ashwin continues to be among top 3 test all-rounders, despite a not-so-great 2017. He has 292 wickets and 2035 runs to his name. More than half his runs came when India won, and has picked up 211 wickets in winning cause at an average of 19.77. Earlier this year, he also became the fastest player to reach 250 wickets and 2000 runs in Tests.

    England's top all-rounder

    26-year old Ben Stokes has 2429 runs, including six centuries and 95 wickets in 39 Test matches, making him the category's finest Englishman.

In 2017, Stokes scored 527 runs, and has 16 wickets.

    England's go-to man
