Harry Brook has played a few good knocks this series, but for England's man of the series, it had to be Stokes. He was the point of difference. And if not for Stokes, the 2nd candidate was Root. Strange !!

Someone who should actually be credited for Siraj's rise, would be Bharat Arun. He fast tracked Siraj for the Hyderabad cricket team, and since then it's been a story. Had an eye for the talent.
